The olive harvest in the occupied West Bank has become a season of fear. Brutal settler attacks have marred what should be a time of history, culture and tradition. More than 200 attacks have occurred within the last month, according to the Palestinian Authority, often with the army’s support. The Israeli military told CNN it “recognizes the importance of the olive harvest in maintaining the fabric of life in the region,” but acknowledged it has restricted entry to certain areas in order to “prevent friction.” CNN’s Jeremy Diamond visits a Palestinian farm damaged by settlers and speaks to a farmer attacked by a settler and Israeli soldiers while trying to reach his family’s olive groves.
