Olive Harvests in Lebanon and West Bank
The article reviews the hardships faced by olive farmers in Lebanon and the West Bank during the harvest season, where they encounter assaults and threats from settlers and the Israeli army. These include preventing access to their lands, destroying olive trees, and threatening their properties. The imposed restrictions lead to the drying out of the trees and significant losses in production, with southern Lebanon losing about half of its olive harvest due to war and assaults. Farmers also face dangers from landmines and remnants of war, while attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank continue to rise, including damaging trees and stealing fruits. Despite these security and economic challenges, the resilience of the farmers remains evident, highlighting the urgent need to provide them with protection to ensure the sustainability of the agricultural season and the safety of their lives and livelihoods.
