Israeli settlers chop off 200 grape trees near Bethlehem

 BETHLEHEM– Extremist Israeli settlers today chopped off about 200 grape trees belonging to a Palestinian farmer in the village of al-Khader, near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, witnesses said.

Imad Dadou, a local activist who monitors violations by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers, told WAFA  news agency that settlers broke into a grape-planted grove belonging to a Palestinian villager from al-Khader, before proceeding to chop off about 200 trees there.

 

Dadou said this was the second attack by settlers on the village since yesterday, when a group of settlers forced their way into another ranch and smashed dozens of grape trees that belong to local villagers.
