Ali Attiyeh is one of three farmers who was abducted from the town of Rashaya al-Fukhar in Hasbaya district in South Lebanon on May 19, 2026, by invading Zionist occupation soldiers, along with his cousins, Ahmad and Shawqi Attiyeh. All three are from the village of Halta and were out in their orchards in Rashaya al-Fukhar planting their land when an occupation forces invaded the area and abducted a number of farmers.
After hours of detention and interrogation, their mobile phones confiscated, several of the farmers were released, while the three men of the Attiyeh family remained captive.
Hasnaa Diab, the three men's grandmother, said in an interview with Al-Jazeera: "They left early in the morning to work in agriculture because they have wives and children waiting for their return. They did not go to attack anyone or carry out any security activity — only to earn a living. They are oppressed farmers. Today we are living in total confusion. These young men are the support and primary breadwinners for our households. More than 30 people — women, children and elderly family members — depend directly on them for their daily sustenance, and now we are all left without support.”
