This morning, Israeli colonists, under the protection of the Israeli military, forced Palestinian farmers out of their lands in the village of Jaloud, located south of Nablus.

Local sources reported that several colonists threatened olive pickers and fired in the air, compelling the farmers to leave.

The olive harvest season is one of the most important seasons for thousands of Palestinian families, many of whom make their living from this harvest.

Colonists regularly attack Palestinian farmers during the annual olive harvest season and either steal their crops or prevent them from reaching their lands, in addition to destroying or cutting down olive trees.
