In October, Israeli far-right settlers executed at least 482 attacks on the olive harvest across nine West Bank governorates, significantly hindering farmers' access to their lands, according to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission. The attacks, which target olive groves—an important cultural symbol for Palestinians—have led to over 98,000 damaged olive trees in the past three years, resulting in a $66 million loss for farmers.
