Map of Israeli Attacks on West Bank Olive Heritage
The articles summarize that Israeli attacks on olive trees and Palestinian farmers in the West Bank are significantly escalating, especially during the harvest season. In September, the ICRC (Israeli Committee for Resistance and Settlement) recorded 647 assaults by settlers, during which more than 14,000 trees were destroyed, including over 9,000 olive trees, reflecting widespread destruction of Palestinian agricultural cover. Since the beginning of 2026, approximately 98,000 trees have been damaged, with economic losses reaching around $153.8 million. The attacks vary from setting trees on fire, land leveling, attacking farmers, and preventing them from accessing their land, alongside ongoing settlement expansion and the presence of barriers that hinder access to agricultural areas. Olive trees are a symbol of Palestinian national and cultural identity, and they are under constant threat, jeopardizing the sustainability of agricultural life and farmers' rights in the region.
