Israeli settlers uproot dozens of olive trees in the West Bank city of Al-Khalil

Israeli settlers on Thursday stormed Palestinian agricultural lands, to the east of Yatta town in the south of the West Bank city of Al-Khalil, and uprooted dozens of olive trees.

Coordinator of the Anti-Apartheid Wall and Settlement Committees Rateb Jbour told WAFA News Agency that a group of settlers attacked Tuwani area, to the east of Yatta town, and uprooted and stole some 35 olive trees belonging to a Palestinian family in this area.

Israeli settlers storm Palestinian towns and cities on a daily basis and commit heinous crimes against the Palestinians and their properties under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces with the aim of displacing the locals as well as seizing and judaizing their lands.
