Jalud, Nablus District: Settlers harvest olive trees belonging to village resident and steal the fruit

On Tuesday morning, 13 October 2020, a shepherd noticed settlers harvesting olives on land belonging to resident Fawzi Muhammad in the southern part of the village. When the settlers saw the shepherd, they fled, taking the olives with them. The shepherd notified the landowner and reported the incident to the village council.

Later that day, a lawyer contacted the Israeli DCO on Fawzi’s behalf. Several hours later, a DCO representative updated him that the stolen olives had been located and that he was welcome to pick them up from the settlement of Beit El. Fawzi drove to Beit El the next day and retrieved the stolen loot: 20 kilos of olives.

The settlement outpost of Ahiya was established in 1998 about 300 meters from the plot.
