I asked a friend of mine who was in that group for a picture to post here. He told he they were working so fast that they had no time to take pictures. This is a victory. Every plot of land harvested is a plot of land not abandoned to the Israeli occupation.

They harvested olives on a Palestinian plot of land close to an illegal Israeli settlement—so close that the farmers had not dared reach that plot since October 2023. I was not in that group. I’m not such a fast runner. After 2 hours of intensive work, they left without incident.

The army tear-gassed the site of the olive presses in the center of the village, where olives are pressed into olive oil. Farmers were trapped inside for some time... One of the groups today was composed of 5 internationals “ready to run at a moment’s notice in case settlers came to attack.

Another full day of harvesting olives as well as a fig tree. The figs are delicious by the way. We had no encounters with the army or the settlers today, but the army left its mark on the day. The Israeli army raided the village — for no reason other than to exert power and control.

The CJNV olive harvest group is on the ground and working hard. Sydney Levy, a member of CJNV's advisory committee is there and has been sending dispatches from the field. Here are some excerpts and photos from Sydney:

So far tonight, settlers have added three more caravans to the new "neighborhood".

Center for Jewish Nonviolence @cjnv.org · 15/09/2025

These caravans were set up in the immediate aftermath of Awdah Hathaleen's murder directly adjacent to the community center where he was shot. They effectively cut the village in half and complete the full encircling of the north side of the community.

Center for Jewish Nonviolence @cjnv.org · 15/09/2025

Yinon Levi continued to oversee the bulldozers working on the village's lands. At the same time that they worked to connect the new settler caravans to water and electricity, they cut off the water of the Palestinian residents. All while the police and army were present.
