Israeli occupation forces prevented residents of Yabad, southwest of Jenin, from harvesting olives in their groves, Shehab Wire reported. The restriction impeded the seasonal agricultural activity as Palestinians prepared for the annual olive harvest.
The incident is among recurring constraints on Palestinian farming operations in the northern West Bank, where Israeli military presence frequently limits access to agricultural land during harvest seasons.
