Israeli attacks against olive pickers in the West Bank continued, with the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recording 19 attacks by the army and settlers on Saturday across seven governorates. A 23-year-old young man was injured in an army attack at a military checkpoint west of Nablus and was taken to hospital by Palestinian Red Crescent crews. In Hebron, the municipality announced that the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city has caused the displacement and harm of more than 3,300 citizens, with financial losses exceeding 12 million shekels (about 3.8 million dollars). The attacks included farmers being beaten, a citizen arrested while picking olives, families being detained and threatened with weapons, theft of crops and agricultural equipment, vehicle vandalism, preventing farmers from accessing their land, as well as bulldozing olive trees and damaging agricultural land. Since the start of the olive harvest season at the beginning of October, settlers have escalated their attacks against farmers, resulting in deaths, injuries, and property damage.
