In the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, Israeli soldiers expelled Palestinian farmers from their olive groves and declared the area a closed military zone, before stealing the olives themselves.
Local residents say such incidents have become common during harvest season, as farmers face increasing restrictions and settler and military harassment on their own land.
This olive harvest season the occupied West Bank has seen the highest level of damage and settler attacks since 2020, according to OCHA.
The UN agency said that 126 attacks were recorded across 70 towns and villages, with more than 4,000 olive trees and saplings vandalised.
