Palestinian killed in Israeli settler attack during olive harvest, officials say

The Palestinian health ministry identified the victim as 44-year-old Ali Hassan Yusor al-Bazzari, as violence during the olive harvest has surged this year.

  • On Wednesday, 44-year-old Ali Hassan Yusor was killed during an Israeli settler attack while Palestinians harvested olives near Burqa in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
  • This year, at least 30 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers amid a broader surge in violence during the October-to-November olive harvest across the West Bank.
  • The Israeli military said both soldiers and settlers opened fire during the incident, though it remains unclear whether military personnel or settlers caused the death of the 44-year-old Palestinian.
  • At the funeral, Bazzari's 12-year-old son Danial wept over his father's body, while farmer Tayseer Al-Sheikh described how fear of violence now prevents Palestinians from accessing their groves.
  • With many Palestinians now relying on activists for protection to reach their lands, farmers emphasize that "For us, the olive tree is life," despite mounting economic pressures and security risks.
