According to estimates, 220,000 dunams have been harvested so far in Judea and Samaria.

The following are the estimated olive harvest figures to date:

  • Approximately 220,000 dunams have been harvested so far in Judea and Samaria.
  • Approximately 100 coordinated olive harvesting sites have operated under the protection of security personnel in Judea and Samaria.
  • The estimated yield harvested so far stands at approximately 22,500 tons of olives, from which approximately 5,500 liters of olive oil have been produced, with a value of NIS 225 million.

Incidents receiving increasing media attention account for only a small percentage of the olive harvesting areas in Judea and Samaria. The vast majority of coordinated olive harvesting operations protected by security personnel are proceeding as planned, without unusual incidents.

To facilitate the olive harvest season and prevent incidents of friction, violence, and terrorism, significant reinforcements have been deployed to the Central Command, including the 98th Division Headquarters, a task force headquarters from the Paratroopers Brigade, a regular battalion and Border Police companies.

These troops are deployed throughout the sector to provide optimal protection, counter terrorism and prevent incidents of confrontation.

Security personnel take a serious view of violence, criminal activity and attempts by any party to undermine security in the area. They are working together to protect the region and enforce law and order.

IDF soldiers will continue operating throughout Judea and Samaria to thwart terrorism, protect civilians, and maintain stability in the area.
