Israeli occupation steps up its brutality in the occupied Palestinian territories

The Israeli occupation on Monday detained 7 Palestinians in different parts of the West Bank.

The seven Palestinians were detained during the occupation’s raids on the West Bank towns of Qabatya in Jenin, Beit Fujjar in Bethlehem and Al-Bireh and Termis’aya in Ramallah, according to WAFA News Agency.

Another 4 Palestinians were also detained by the occupation forces in the West Bank on Sunday.

In a relevant context, the Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinians in the village of Salem, east of the West Bank city of Nablus, and chopped tens of olive trees.

 The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has stressed that the Israeli occupation’s war on the Palestinian olive season is part of its Judaization schemes. The ministry called on the international community to act immediately to stop the Israeli crimes which aim at undermining the elements of the steadfastness and presence of the Palestinian people.

Meantime, the Israeli occupation forces prevented the Palestinian farmers from entering their lands to harvest their olive crops south of the West Bank city of Qalqilya.

In another development, dozens of Israeli settlers stormed into Al-Aqsa Mosque and carried out provocative tours in its courtyards under the heavy protection of the occupation forces.

These provocative acts aim at imposing fait accompli regarding the Judaization and controlling of Al-Aqsa Compound.

Meanwhile in Gaza, a number of vehicles, affiliated to the Israeli occupation, stormed into the agricultural lands of the Palestinians in the east of the bedieged Gaza Strip with the aim of razing these lands so that the Palestinian can’t benefit from agriculture, particularly in the light of the unfair siege imposed on them for many years.
