Israeli settlers disrupt Palestinian harvest

Israeli settlers disrupt Palestinian harvest:

"It's time for the olive harvest in the Palestinian West Bank. However even picking olives from trees on their own land has become an ordeal for many Palestinians, who face opposition from Israeli settlers who've decided to build homes nearby, in violation of international law. Now a group of Jewish Rabbis have taken it upon themselves to provide physical protection to the Palestinians, who they believe are suffering an injustice. But despite their efforts, Israeli settlers have still managed to make their presence felt in an increasingly aggressive manner. Hassan Ghani reports."
