The incidents occurred at olive groves in villages like Abu Dis and towns such as Awarta and Beita. Settlers threw stones and attacked a house when volunteers from California arrived to help with the olive harvest. Soldiers subsequently rounded up Palestinian farmers and activists, forcing them to leave. Over 80,000 Palestinian families depend on the olive harvest for income. This event highlights ongoing tensions between settlers and Palestinians in the West Bank.
