Israeli Forces Prevent Volunteering Journalists from Picking Olives

NABLUS, October 26, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli soldiers prevented Wednesday a delegation from the ministry of information from participating in olive picking in Deir al-Hatab, a village east of Nablus in the northern West Bank, according to a press release issued by the ministry.

The delegation, which included a number of the ministry’s journalists and reporters, said that the Israeli soldiers intercepted their way and prevented them from helping Deir al-Hatab residents in picking the olive harvest.

The release said that the ministry and within its ongoing activities to support marginalized areas through journalism tours, decided to send this tour to Deir al-Hatab, in solidarity with its residents to help them harvest olives.

These activities send a clear message to Israel that the Palestinians support each other, and enable the journalists to expose the Israeli violations against the Palestinian olive pickers, the release said.
