Israeli occupation forces on Monday barred Palestinian farmers in the town of Sinjil town, located north of Ramallah in the central part of the occupied West Bank, from accessing their olive groves during harvest season.
Local sources said troops stormed the area and forced farmers to leave, denying them entry to their own land.
Olive harvests across the West Bank are routinely disrupted by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers and occupation soldiers, resulting in major financial losses and heightened hardship for Palestinian families.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, 48,728 trees have been damaged or destroyed—37,237 of them olive trees.
