Israel demolishes West Bank olive groves ahead of harvest
Original: ‘They want to displace us’: # Israel launches new demolition of West Bank olive groves Military orders and bulldozers ta
Israeli forces have carried out a new demolition of Palestinian olive groves in the West Bank, with bulldozers acting on military orders that target farmland just ahead of the olive harvest season. Palestinian farmers say the destruction is intended to force them off their land, with one quoted saying 'they want to displace us'. The olive harvest is a key source of income for many West Bank families, and rights groups warn such demolitions threaten livelihoods and deepen tensions in the occupied territory.
Why now: The demolitions come just before the olive harvest, directly threatening Palestinian livelihoods and drawing attention to ongoing displacement in the West Bank.
