About 80 Israeli left-wing activists and foreigners who came together to olive harvests between the village of Abalien and an elite hospital in the Gush Etzion were detained by the police and the IDF. They claim that after two hours of work, they were detained by soldiers and police and told them that they had a closed military area. They say they did not know about it. Among the Maccabees is nominated for the American Congress.

כ80 פעילי שמאל ישראלים וזרים שהגיעו ביחד למסיק זיתים בין הכפר נחאלין לבית״ר עילית בגוש עציון עוכבו על ידי המשטרה וצה״ל. הם טוענים שאחרי שעתיים של עבודה הם עוכבו על ידי חיילים ושוטרים ונאמר להם שהם הפרו שטח צבאי סגור. לטענתם לא ידעו על כך. בין המעוכבים מועמד לקונגרס האמריקאי
