RAMALLAH, October 20, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists, backed by Israeli soldiers, carried out multiple attacks against Palestinian farmers today and stole the olive harvest in different areas of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

In the village of Ein Sinya, north of Ramallah, sources said that colonists stole the olive crops belonging to Palestinian farmers in the Wadi Al-Balout area after chasing them out of their lands.

In a separate attack, colonists, under heavy protection from Israeli forces, stole the olive harvest belonging to Palestinians in the Ramin plain area, east of Tulkarem. Israeli forces also prevented farmers from accessing their lands and chased them at gunpoint.

Eyewitnesses told WAFA that groups of colonists physically assaulted farmer Mohammad Sanjaq, and stole his olive crops and farming equipment, while Israeli soldiers provided full cover during the attack.

The Ramin plain has been subjected to daily attacks by colonists, particularly during the olive harvest season, given their presence in an illegal pastoral outpost established on the area’s lands, from which they lead a series of organized attacks against farmers to prevent them from reaching their lands.

Colonists intensify their attacks against Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest season, which is one of the main sources of income for Palestinians. They often coordinate their attacks with soldiers, who provide them with cover and protection.
