The olive harvest season began on October 9, yet within the first week alone (October 7–13), 36 settler attacks struck 27 Palestinian villages, disrupting a tradition as old as the land itself.
In just one week:
1 Palestinian shot dead, 99 injured
1,430+ Palestinian-owned trees and saplings (mostly olive) destroyed
40 vehicles vandalised
Since October 7, 2023;
37,237 olive trees destroyed
7,154 Palestinians and their properties attacked by Israeli settlers and soldiers
