Don't be agitated by the headline.

Here 'harm' is meant in a diplomatic way. They put restrictions on the Spanish consulate. It is strong language, but nobody is talking about physical harm (just as Spain hasn't harmed Israel physically).

From the article:

According to these measures, Israel prohibits the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from "conducting consular activities or providing consular services to residents of the Palestinian Authority", although it clarified that the measure does not apply to people with Spanish nationality.

So even their diplomatic retaliation screams Apartheid

So if a Spanish-Palestinian couple wants to sort things out to visit Spain or deal with administrative stuff they can't. Palestinians who have family in Spain and need to deal with their affairs can't now.

While it is not physical harm, it has huge psychological implications and many of which are equally terrible. Imagine a family member dies in Spain and you can't even go to the consulate to arrange for the funeral.
