A group of senior Israeli ex-military officials helped Palestinian farmers harvest olives on Tuesday in a show of solidarity, Middle East Eye reported. The action came as militant settler violence against Palestinians has escalated in recent weeks.
The ex-generals' participation in the harvest reflected divisions within Israeli society over settlement expansion and attacks on Palestinian communities. Their presence demonstrated opposition to the violence and support for Palestinian agricultural livelihoods.
