The annual olive harvest in Palestine is a time-honored tradition and an economic lifeline for thousands of families.
Yet, this year, escalating violence has turned the season into a battleground. Since October, there have been widespread settler attacks, with hundreds of olive trees burned, crops stolen, and even lives lost.
Farmers face life-threatening risks as they attempt to access their own lands, with little protection or accountability.
