With the olive harvest season underway, Palestinians are encountering a surge in violence from Israeli settlers and forces, highlighting the vulnerability of their economic lifeline.
The UN's OCHA reported a critical increase in violence during the olive harvest, noting nine killings by Israeli forces and 32 settler attacks since early October.
Hanan Abd Rahman Abu Salameh's tragic death symbolizes the heightened risks faced by Palestinians. Her killing was just one incident amid rising tensions and violence over olive harvesting.
OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke emphasized that the aggression toward both people and olive groves threatens the economic stability of many Palestinian families relying on this harvest.
