In an Arabic report published on October 13, Palestinian news agency WAFA cited local sources who said Israeli settlers forced olive pickers to leave land in Beit Amarin, north of Nablus, under threat with weapons. The report gave no independent verification or injury information.

In a separate report the same day, WAFA cited local sources who said dozens of Israeli settlers in Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah, tried to prevent residents from reaching land behind the separation barrier to harvest olives. That report does not state the outcome of the attempt. Neither report gives a farmer count or harvest losses.
