The West Bank - Summary of olive harvest season 2023 (September-November)
This was one of the harshest and least fruitful harvests ever:
‣ Over 96,000 dunams of olive groves were not harvested;
‣ Coordination with the Israeli army ahead of time (seam zone, 150 meters from Separation Wall, proximity to colonies) were annulled and no access was enabled;
