RAMALLAH (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian agricultural lands in the town of Qarawah Bani Hassan, west of Salfit, north of the occupied West Bank, on Thursday and cut down 30 olive trees.
Jamal Asi, a resident of the town, said the settlers of the Netafim settlement, illegally established on the town’s land, cut down 30 olive trees, estimated to be 50 years old, in the Khallat Hassan area east of the town.
The area has been the target of repeated attacks over the past months, including the installation of barbed wire fences, land leveling, and tree planting by settlers in an attempt to seize the land.
Meanwhile, settlers stormed the Bir Abu Ammar area northwest of the town, to graze their cows before the town’s youths confronted them and forced them to leave.
