‘Awarta, Nablus District: Settlers harass olive harvesters, and one pepper-sprays them in front of soldiers

On 25 October 2021, several village residents went to harvest olives on their land, which stretches about two kilometers east of the village. They had coordinated their arrival with the military, as the settlement of Itamar was established nearby. The farmers were escorted by several soldiers and joined by volunteers from Rabbis for Human Rights. While they were at work, several settlers arrived and began to provoke them. One sprayed the harvesters with pepper spray, lightly injuring two farmers and a volunteer. The soldiers who were escorting the harvesters drove the settlers out.
