A group of senior Israeli former military officials helped Palestinian farmers harvest olives in Qusra, West Bank on Tuesday, in a show of solidarity against escalating militant settler violence, Al-Monitor reported. The gesture came as attacks on Palestinians by armed settlers have intensified in recent weeks.
The ex-generals' participation directly challenged the pattern of intimidation targeting Palestinian agricultural communities. Their involvement reflected divisions within Israel's security establishment over settler militancy and its expansion across the territory.
