VIDEO | Israeli occupation forces attack Palestinian farmers during olive harvest near Jerusalem Israeli occupation forces attacked a group of Palestinian farmers and local residents in the town of Beit Anan, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, as they attempted to reach their agricultural lands to harvest their seasonal olive crops. According to local reports, armed Israeli troops confronted the villagers, physically assaulting several residents and forcibly driving them away from their groves. Israeli military authorities and armed settler groups have systematically cordoned off thousands of dunams of farmland during the critical harvest season, deploying tear gas, sound grenades, and physical force to prevent families from collecting their primary agricultural livelihood. Local Palestinian human rights watchdogs report that the military blockade around Beit Anan reflects a broader policy of systematic land confiscation and economic coercion across the occupied West Bank.
