Palestinian National Security forces in Qalqilya, working with the Al-Ashbal Wal-Zaharat institution and the National Youth Council, organised an olive harvest event in the town of Habla.

Students from the Al-Quds Basic Girls School participated in the activity. Organisers intended the event to connect young people with the land and strengthen their sense of Palestinian national identity. The event included an educational talk about the olive tree’s religious, national, and historical importance to Palestinians.

Speakers presented the tree as a symbol of resilience and a key part of Palestinian heritage, adapting the language for the young participants. The girls then harvested olives, fostering teamwork and introducing them to Palestinian agricultural traditions. National Security forces and their partners plan to continue these efforts to increase national awareness among young Palestinians and support their connection to their heritage.
