Israel is building a six-meter-high razor-wire barrier, effectively caging 8,000 Palestinians in Sinjil the West Bank near Ramallah preventing them from farming.

What is happening in the occupied West Bank? Three Palestinians have been wounded after being severely beaten with clubs by Israeli settlers near Salfit city in the central occupied West Bank, Wafa reports, citing local sources. According to the sources, the group were attacked in the Wadi al-Shaer area, and suffered severe wounds to their heads, abdomens and lower spines, with one of them sustaining a broken jaw. Meanwhile, in the town of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians farmers attempting to gather the olive harvest, seizing one of their vehicles. In Jerusalem, the Israeli authroities issued demolition and stop-work notices for four residential and agricultural structures in the community of Abu al-Nuwar, near the town of al-Eizariya. The Palestinian-run Jerusalem Governorate said this comes just days after the authorities announced the closure of the only read leading to Abu al-Nuwar, as well as the nearby al-Wadi al-A'raj and al-Muntar areas. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reports that Israel deported 14 western activists who were attempting to protect Palestinians as they harvested their olives. The Human Rights Defenders Fund said the group were arrested on Friday near Ramallah after being atacked by Israeli settlers. October has seen an unprecedented surge in Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians attempting gather the olive harvest compared to previous years. OCHA documented 377 olive-harvest-related settler attacks across the West Bank between September 1 and November 2, 2026, outstripping the total recorded during a any previous olive harvest season.
