🇵🇸 West Bank olive harvest ‘more dangerous than ever’ under shadow of war | 972mag
At the end of each olive harvest in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra, Ibrahim Wadi leads his family in making Nabulsi soap, a staple of many Palestinian homes that is prepared using a centuries-old technique. He gathers relatives, old and young, and instructs them to bring olive oil from their homes so that they can make it together. While some help, others sing, drink, and eat snacks in what has become a cherished annual tradition.
But this year there will be no soap.
Ibrahim Wadi, 63, and his son Ahmed, 26, were killed on Oct. 12 2023 by Israeli settlers, who Palestinians say are taking advantage of the international community’s focus on the war in Gaza to carry out attacks in the West Bank with impunity.

🇵🇸 ‘If you don’t leave, we’ll kill you’: Hundreds flee Israeli settler violence – 972mag
Seeing the Gaza war as a golden hour to fulfill their West Bank ambitions, Israeli settlers have chased out entire Palestinian communities in Area C.
As a result, several communities around #Hebron in #AreaC — the two-thirds of the #WestBank completely controlled by Israel, and where all Israeli settlements are located — have been completely evacuated and their lands seized by #settlers. These include Al-Radeem, Khirbet Zanuta, ‘Atiriyah, Khirbet A’nizan, Maqtal Msalam, and Al-Qanoub.
Since October 7, an estimated 400 Palestinians in the Hebron region — including more than 150 children and 100 women — have fled to escape the horrors.

🇵🇸 Palestinians struggle to rebuild their lives after settler pogroms
A surge in #SettlerViolence since Oct. 7 has robbed multiple Palestinian communities of their land and livelihoods. Now they don't know where to go.
On the day of the expulsion, the settlers refused to allow them to take anything from the burning village: her husband’s ID card, vehicles, mattresses, cell phones, bags of olives, keys — “and my clothes,” one of her sons adds. Everything was left behind, and much of it stolen. Abiyat’s eldest son, who is 11 years old, can no longer go to his school near the village, as there is nobody who can drive him there
In the days leading up to her family’s decision to flee the village, Abiyat would sleep outside with her children, fearing that settlers would set their house on fire while they slept, as had happened to one of her neighbors. “At night, we’d lock the house, turn off the lights, and then go down to the olive trees to sleep under the sky,” she says

🇵🇸 Israeli settlers rampage across Palestinian town in latest West Bank pogrom
More than 70 armed Jewish settlers invaded the Palestinian town of Jit in the occupied West Bank on 16 August, firing bullets and tear gas at residents and setting several homes and cars and other property on fire, CNN reported.
Settlers killed 23-year-old Rashid Sedda during the pogrom. The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health confirmed the 23-year-old Palestinian died due to a gunshot wound to the chest.
“We have attacks but nothing to this level,” the head of Jit’s village council, Nasser Sedda, told CNN. “We haven’t seen anything like this before, and without a prior warning. They caught the people off guard – women, children, and elders were there.”
