The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad 
movement, announced 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/pij-condemns-israeli-assassinations--crimes-in-west-bank> 
on its Telegram channel today, Wednesday, that its leadership had 
obtained "valuable information" after taking control of Israeli 
occupation forces' drones in the West Bank.

The al-Quds Brigades broadcast footage of the operation, which they 
codenamed Blinding Vision, along with a portion of the information 
extracted from the drones they were permitted to publish.

An al-Quds Brigades field commander in the West Bank explained that the 
extracted intel had a major impact on their operational capabilities 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-quds-brigades-ied-disables-israeli-military-vehicle-in-je>, 
which they demonstrated by carrying out several attacks against 
occupation positions, checkpoints, and military points and by planting 
IEDs along the routes taken by military vehicles.


    Resistance operations intensify

Further evidencing the commander's statements 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-quds-brigades-target-israeli-vehicle-route-in-jabaa-town>, 
the al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced they detonated a 
ground-based "Tufan" explosive device in the path of military vehicles 
raiding the town of Qabatiya.

Similarly, the Jenin Brigade announced on October 27 that its fighters 
had targeted a route 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/palestinian-youth-injured-confronting-israeli-raid-in-west-b> 
used by Israeli occupation army vehicles with an explosive device in the 
town of Jaba'a in the occupied West Bank.

Meanwhile, the field commander further confirmed that all the al-Quds 
Brigades' formations and units continue to inflict losses on the 
occupation through new, adaptive field tactics, reassuring the 
Palestinian people that while the Resistance's capabilities are strong, 
"our rifles will remain aimed at the Nazi occupation."

"The arenas of confrontation will remain ablaze until the occupier is 
vanquished," he added.

The al-Quds Brigades commander also stressed that military action in the 
West Bank will not cease, promising the enemy more to come "as long as 
its policy of cowardly assassinations and the violations and crimes 
committed by its soldiers and herds of settlers against our people 
continue."


    Israeli settlers attack Palestinian olive pickers in the West Bank

This comes as settler violence and Israeli occupation forces raids 
escalate 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/three-palestinians-murdered-in-israeli-raid-in-kafr-qud--jen> 
across the West Bank, with many Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians 
as they attempt to harvest olives on their orchards.

Three Palestinian olive pickers sustained injuries on October 28 when 
they were attacked by illegal Israeli settlers 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/settlers-glorify-brutal-assaults-on-palestinians-in-whatsapp> 
in various locations across the occupied West Bank, as reported by local 
sources.

According to sources speaking to /Anadolu/, settlers blocked farmers 
from the towns 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-settlers-attack-west-bank-amid-iof-detentions-in-tul> 
of Sinjil and Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, from reaching their olive 
groves, which prompted the intervention of Israeli forces who fired 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--kills-palestinian-youth-in-west-bank-amid-escalatin> 
tear gas canisters to disperse the confrontations.

In the northern West Bank, witnesses reported that approximately 100 
settlers attacked Palestinian families who were harvesting olives in 
Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, beating them and injuring at least two 
people, while in Jurish, south of Nablus, an elderly Palestinian man 
sustained bruises 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--killed-40-palestinian-children-in-west-bank-since-j> 
after settlers forced farmers off their land.

These incidents are part of a wider surge in settler attacks during the 
annual olive harvest, which typically begins in mid-October.

The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reported that over the 
past two years, settlers have carried out 7,154 assaults against 
Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank, resulting in 
33 killings and the mass displacement of 33 Bedouin communities.

Muayyad Shaaban, head of the commission, noted thatRamallah recorded 83 
attacks 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-settlers-torch-three-palestinian-cars-near-ramallah>, 
Nablus 69, and al-Khalil 34. He added that roughly 1,070 olive trees 
were damaged this season, calling it “the most difficult and dangerous 
in decades” due to "Israel’s" use of “closed military zones” to block 
Palestinian access to farmland.
