At the end, for anyone that didn't read it:

Since the start of this season, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has documented 126 settler attacks across 70 towns and villages, disrupting harvesting activities, injuring approximately 112 Palestinians and vandalising more than 4,000 trees and saplings.

A study published in 2012 by the Applied Research Institute Jerusalem (ARIJ) estimated that since 1967, the Israeli authorities had uprooted 800,000 Palestinian olive trees in the occupied West Bank.

Besides the physical destruction of these olive trees, many Palestinian farmers in the West Bank require Israeli permits to access their land in restricted areas near illegal Israeli settlements. Palestinian farmers are forbidden from accessing much of their land in areas close to settlements, except for a few days a year.
