Palestinian farmers harvesting olives near Abu Falah in the occupied West Bank say repeated attacks by Israeli settlers are forcing them to abandon their crops. DW witnessed harvesters and activists leaving the area as settlers approached from a nearby outpost.

Farmers described attacks with stones and gas. The Israeli army fired tear gas at Palestinian harvesters and journalists. A photographer was reportedly beaten and hospitalized. According to the UN, about 200 settler-related attacks have been recorded during this year's olive harvest season, making it one of the most violent on record.
