Israeli settlers attack Palestinians during olive harvest , says Red Crescent

The Palestinian Red Crescent has reported that Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians during the annual olive harvest in the occupied West Bank. The incidents occurred amidst ongoing seasonal agricultural activities in the region, which have frequently become a flashpoint for conflict between local Palestinian farmers and Israeli settlers.

Simultaneously, prominent Israeli Rabbi Dov Lior has issued a religious ruling stating that Jews are permitted to harvest olives from Palestinian-owned groves. Citing claims that the land belongs to the Jewish people, the ruling provides a theological justification for the appropriation of agricultural resources, further intensifying tensions surrounding land ownership and access during the harvest season.
