Settler outposts encircle Palestinian villages, farmers face deadly harvest access

Palestinian farmers in Sinjil and Deir Jarir face a fraught harvest season as new settler outposts surround their villages, with attacks escalating. The situation reflects an ongoing pattern of settler expansion and violence in the West Bank, but the new outposts mark a further tightening of access to farmland. This increases the risk of casualties and displacement, potentially fueling broader instability.
