OCHA reports 377 West Bank harvest-related settler attacks through November 2

OCHA reports 377 olive-harvest-related settler attacks across the West Bank from September 1 to November 2. This updates its earlier tally of 199 through October 12. AP's previously reported Yesh Din count of more than 325 uses a different reporting period and method and remains separate. The figures are attributed to their producers; they are not a count of new attacks on the publication date.

Why it matters

OCHA reports that violence and access restrictions continue to prevent farmers reaching agricultural land and constrain assistance during the harvest.

What the sources establish

OCHA is the producer of the 377 tally for September 1–November 2 in its report posted November 6, titled November 5. The full report was inspected; its underlying incident records were not independently audited. Earlier AP field reporting supports the pattern of harvest disruption but does not verify this later total. AP's Yesh Din tally is not directly comparable with OCHA's figures. The OCHA page's weekly harvest table gives 64 while its narrative gives 41; the weekly number is omitted pending clarification. No new casualty total is adopted. November 6 is the posting date, with midnight a date placeholder, not an attack time. Farm, village, movement, aid and vulnerable-person locations are excluded; Palestinian farmers are explicitly identified by the sources.

Corrections and updates

November 7 update: added OCHA's 377 tally for September 1–November 2, preserving AP/Yesh Din's differently scoped count. Advanced the date-only reference to the report's November 6 posting date and rounded the regional marker. Omitted conflicting weekly figures of 64 and 41 pending clarification; no new casualty total is adopted.

23 Oct 2026 22:29 UTC — Added a broad regional signal about reported disruption to the 2026 olive harvest, attributing the newer count to Yesh Din via AP and distinguishing OCHA's earlier, differently scoped tally; precise incident locations omitted.

7 Nov 2026 06:37 UTC — Added OCHA's 377 September 1–November 2 tally while retaining earlier OCHA and AP/Yesh Din reporting and their scope differences. Adopted the November 6 posting date and rounded the regional marker. Excluded conflicting weekly numbers and added the reported access-and-assistance consequence.
