US EditionIsraeli settlers attack Palestinians, journalists at West Bank olive harvest, witnesses say
- On November 08, 2025, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers, activists and journalists near a settler outpost during an olive-harvest gathering, injuring Reuters reporter Raneen Sawafta and others.
- This year’s olive harvest, which began in October, has seen rising confrontations as attacks escalate and activists join harvests near settler outposts not approved by Israeli authorities in the area south of Nablus.
- Dozens of masked settlers descended from an outpost and attacked about 30 villagers and about 10 journalists using sticks, clubs and large rocks, smashing camera equipment and ignoring Press-marked jackets.
- The Israel Defense Forces said they dispatched soldiers to maintain security while police review the incident, and Reuters urged Israeli authorities to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.
- The U.N. reported at least 264 attacks in October, the highest monthly total since 2006, while Israeli rights groups say such incidents are rarely investigated and activists document harvests.
