Settlers uproot olive and grape trees in Ramallah and Nablus

RAMALLAH, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Jewish settlers cut down olive trees in the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank, on Friday.

Local sources reported that settlers stormed the “Marj Siya” plain, located between the villages of Al-Mughayir and Abu Falah, and cut down several olive trees belonging to citizen Atef Hamayel.

In Nablus, settlers uprooted several olive and grape trees from the lands of the village of Duma, south of the city, earlier on Friday morning.

The head of the Duma village council, Suleiman Dawabsha, said that settlers attacked Duma’s lands and uprooted a number of olive and grape trees in the Abu Sayfi and Al-Shakara areas of the village.

He added that the settlers prevented residents from accessing their lands in the same area and threatened to kill them if they tried to approach.
