Settlers are filmed vandalizing and stealing olives from trees belonging to Palestinians from the central West Bank village of al-Mughayyir, as IDF soldiers look on without acting.
Such acts have intensified in recent days amid the start of the annual olive harvest, which has previously seen an uptick in attacks.
Theft under the protection of the military:
