HEBRON– Israeli settlers Monday chopped down olive trees and uprooted others in an area east of the village of Tarqumiyah, northwest of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron.
Suleiman al-Ja’afra, an activis, said that settlers from the illegal Israeli settlement of Telem and Adura damaged about 100 trees, including olive trees, owned by al-Zabayna family.
He noted that this is the second time in which Israeli settlers uproot and damage trees in less than a month, adding that this comes within a plan to seize the area in favor of settlement expansion.
Al-Ja’afra said that the settlers provoke Palestinians by causing damages to their properties and terrorizing women and children.
