The IDF announces a closed military zone in the area of the village of Burin near Nablus in the West Bank, shortly before hundreds of left-wing activists were expected to arrive to assist Palestinians in their olive harvest.
The activists include, among others, members of Peace Now and Rabbis for Human Rights.
The visit had been planned as part of a broad effort to help Palestinians harvest their olives in the area, against the backdrop of numerous incidents of violence against Palestinians during the harvest season.
Throughout the olive harvest, there were several locations in the West Bank where the IDF issued closed military zone orders as Palestinians arrived to harvest olives on their own land.
The IDF has not yet responded.
לא יאומן – הוציאו לנו עכשיו צו הגבלת תנועה!
המחבלים מהמאחזים עדיין מסתובבים חופשי אבל 7 אוטובוסים של פעילי שלום עוצרים במחסום.
