## Summary

Three Palestinians were reportedly severely beaten by Israeli settlers near Salfit, while settlers also attacked farmers gathering olives near Sinjil and took a vehicle. The incidents come amid a record surge in attacks on the olive harvest, raising concerns about farmers’ safety and access to their land.

Separately, Israeli authorities issued demolition and stop-work notices for four homes and agricultural structures in Abu al-Nuwar, after closing the community’s only road and routes to nearby areas. Fourteen Western activists who had been trying to protect olive-picking Palestinians were deported after being arrested near Ramallah, according to reports. The UN’s OCHA recorded 377 olive-harvest-related settler attacks between 1 September and 2 November 2026, more than in any previous harvest season.
