Israeli forces prevent Palestinian farmers from harvesting olives east of Nablus

Israeli occupation forces forced Palestinian farmers to leave their lands while picking olive harvest in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus. The head of the Beit Furik Municipal Council, Hussein Hajj Muhammad, said that the occupation soldiers forced the farmers to leave the fields located on the western side of the town, threatening to detain them if they returned to continue their work. This incident coincides with a series of ongoing violations against the town's residents for days, as the occupation forces prevent them from reaching their lands and working on them. During the annual olive harvest season, Palestinian lands are subjected to repeated attacks by colonists and the occupation army. Farmers constantly face obstacles and arbitrary practices that prevent them from reaching their lands, which leads to severe material losses and increases their daily suffering under the occupation.
