Olive HarvestDescription
Last week, the Israeli government clashed with Jewish settlers in Hebron. In retaliation, the settlers went on a rampage, slashing tires, smashing windows, and setting fire to Palestinian olive groves.
Some Palestinians depend on their olive groves for their livelihoods.
Reporter Daniel Estrin brings us this story of a group of Israeli volunteers who are helping protect Palestinian olive harvests in the West Bank.
