Settlers threaten olive harvesters at gunpoint in al-Mughayyir on Yom Kippur; soldiers drive them off their land
Blocking accessAssaultDamage to olive treesNo arrestsAwaiting review
About 150 residents went to harvest olives on a day coordinated with the military. In the northeast groves, 10 to 15 settlers, some armed, pushed the harvesters, threatened them at gunpoint and drove them off. Soldiers who arrived then ordered the residents back to the Allon Road. Later, police, soldiers and Border Police removed the settlers, and harvesting resumed only after ID checks. In the eastern groves, near the former al-Qabun community, harvesters found armed settlers grazing sheep on their land and trees cut down or burnt.
