In a scene that epitomizes the escalating terrorism by settlers and occupation soldiers in the West Bank, a soldier brandished his weapon at an unarmed Palestinian who attempted to thwart an attack launched by settlers against Palestinians and activists participating in the olive harvest. The village of Qusra in the West Bank witnessed the terrorist assault carried out by a number of settlers against unarmed Palestinians and activists who were taking part in the olive picking. An image published by the Associated Press showed an occupation police officer aiming his weapon at the unarmed Palestinian as he tried to prevent the settlers from continuing their attacks. The incident occurs amid repeated assaults by settlers against Palestinian farmers in the West Bank, particularly during the olive harvest season, which annually witnesses confrontations and attacks that hinder farmers’ access to their lands and the harvesting of their crops.
