Settlers cut down 250 olive trees east of Tamoun

Settlers cut down about 250 fruitful olive trees belonging to a farmer in the Umm al-Kabish area, east of the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas, amid repeated attacks during the olive harvest season.

Settlers cut down on Tuesday morning about 250 fruitful olive trees belonging to a farmer in the Umm al-Kabish area, east of the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas.

The olive harvest season is witnessing repeated attacks targeting farmers and their lands and hindering their access to them and work on them.

In a related context, citizens participated in an olive-picking event in the Umm al-Kabish area, within the national olive-picking campaign for the 2026 season, with the aim of enabling farmers to reach their threatened lands and harvest their crops, amid repeated attacks and their prevention from working in them.
