A Palestinian commission documented 21 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian farmers across six West Bank governorates within a 12-hour span on Friday, October 23, including shootings, burning and cutting of olive trees, crop theft, and denial of land access. Italy demanded the release of five Italian women activists detained by Israeli police near Kiryat Arba settlement while trying to protect farmers during the harvest. Separately, Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine described being knocked down, kicked and struck with sticks by Israeli settlers during an attack the previous week, saying the experience deepened her understanding of the daily fear Palestinians face.
