Story summary

Former Israeli military officials, including six generals, helped Palestinian farmers harvest olives near Qusra, a village in the West Bank, on November 3, 2026. This move was seen as a gesture of solidarity against recent upsurges in violent attacks by Israeli settlers targeting Palestinian residents and their property. The ex-military personnel expressed concerns over settler violence enabled by Israel’s military presence, comparing such actions to historical pogroms and emphasizing the need for addressing occupation issues jointly with Palestinians. One organizer, former Major General Eyal Ben-Reuven, highlighted the occupation as a primary issue facing Israeli society, advocating for collaborative solutions rather than ignoring it. The involvement of these high-ranking ex-military figures underscores their frustration with settler violence while also supporting Palestinian farmers' rights to harvest their crops without fear or interference from militant settlers.
