Israeli military says killed two after West Bank shooting

A man watches olive oil being pressed from the fresh harvest at an olive mill in the village of Deir Abu Mishal west of Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on October 22, 2026. The olive harvest starts in the West Bank in October and makes up a large component of the agricultural economy and cultural life for most Palestinians. Violence has flared in recent months in the West Bank with near-daily attacks, thefts or vandalism by Israeli settlers against Palestinians. Extremist Israeli settlers have been seizing olive groves owned by Palestinians, who see the trees as a cultural symbol. Some 500,000 Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, which Israel captured in 1967, among three million Palestinians. Settlements in occupied territory are illegal under international law. /AFP
