NABLUS, October 26, 2011 (WAFA) – Jewish settlers Wednesday morning prevented Palestinian farmers from picking their olives in Huwara, a town south of Nablus, according to a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, an activist monitoring settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told WAFA a number of settlers prevented farmers from accessing their land near Yitzhar settlement south of Nablus, despite prior coordination between the farmers and Israeli authorities.
Jewish settlers’ attacks have escalated recently to coincide with the olive picking season, a time of great significance for the Palestinian community.
Daghlas noted that a group of settlers attacked Palestinian cars near Huwara, a town south of Nablus, breaking the windshields of several. No injuries were reported.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
