Palestinian farmers in Kafr Qaddum village, east of Qalqiliya, organized a collective olive harvest in what residents called "olive mobilization," the Ma'an Wire reported. The coordinated effort aimed to confront settlers and prevent them from targeting individual farmers during the harvest season.
The village's agricultural lands have faced repeated settler interference during harvest periods. Organizers said the collective approach would provide safety in numbers and deter confrontations with settler groups.
