Israeli settlers have been conducting widespread attacks on Palestinian olive harvesters in the West Bank, causing injuries, property damage, and destruction of crops.

These attacks include violence against both civilians and foreign diplomats, such as an incident where a U.S. journalist was severely beaten and robbed. Religious leaders like Rabbi Dov Lior have endorsed these actions, claiming they assert Jewish ownership of the land.
