## Summary

Around 30 former senior Israeli military officials, including six generals, helped Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the occupied West Bank. The act of solidarity comes amid a rise in extremist settler violence against Palestinians, which many Palestinians say is enabled by the Israeli military.

Former Major General Eyal Ben-Reuven compared attacks on women and children to pogroms, while former Colonel Doron Meinert said the occupation is a central problem for Israeli society that must be addressed with Palestinians. Ben-Reuven said he began organising the group several months ago in response to increased violence.
