Palestinians clashed with Israeli troops and Jewish settlers in the West Bank on Friday during the yearly olive harvest, which is often a flashpoint between the sides. Dozens of Palestinians escorted farmers to their orchards in a bid to protect them from confrontations with Jewish settlers. Israeli troops were on guard and fired tear gas and stun grenades to try to disperse the crowd.
