Israeli forces have detained Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander as he helped Palestinian farmers harvest olives in the West Bank. He was released hours later, but dozens of other volunteers, including American rabbis, remained in custody. The Israeli military said the farmers and volunteers failed to seek prior approval for the harvest, posing a security risk. Lander, running in the U.S. elections to represent a New York district, criticized the detentions on social media. This year's harvest has been marked by violence, with Palestinians required to coordinate with the Israeli military to access more farmland than in previous years.
