RAMALLAH, October 10, 2026 (WAFA) — Israeli forces prevented Palestinian farmers from accessing their land in the town of Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah, on Saturday morning to harvest olives, forcing them to leave the area.

Attacks by Israeli forces and settlers on Palestinian farmers and olive harvesters have been escalating with the start of the olive harvest season across the West Bank. The attacks include physical assaults, restrictions on access to agricultural land, damage to trees, and theft of crops.

This season has seen a notable rise in such attacks, which have taken on an increasingly organized character and threaten the livelihoods of thousands of Palestinian families.
