In the occupied West Bank, recent events have seen a surge in Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians as they attempt to harvest their olives. On November 2, 2026, three Palestinians were severely beaten with clubs by settlers near Salfit city, sustaining injuries to their heads, abdomens, lower spines, and one jaw fracture.
In Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, settlers attacked Palestinian farmers, seizing one of their vehicles. In Jerusalem, the Israeli authorities issued demolition and stop-work notices for four residential and agricultural structures in the community of Abu al-Nuwar, close to al-Eizariya. Additionally, 14 western activists were deported by Israel after attempting to protect Palestinians from settler violence.
October has seen an unprecedented surge in such attacks, with OCHA documenting 377 olive-harvest-related settler attacks across the West Bank between September 1 and November 2, 2026, surpassing any previous olive harvest season.
