Settlers cut down olive trees west of Salfit

Today, Thursday, settlers cut down a number of olive trees west of Salfit.

Local sources reported that settlers, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, cut down olive trees and vandalized agricultural land located in the "Al-Takweera" area between the towns of Burqin and Kafr Al-Dik, owned by Abdullah Ali Ahmed.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission monitored that settlers committed 451 violations last year, which resulted in the uprooting, damage, sabotage and poisoning of a total of 14,212 trees, including 10,459 olive trees.

Hebron topped the governorates in terms of the number of damaged trees, with 3,980 trees, followed by Bethlehem Governorate with 3,791 trees damaged and uprooted, then Nablus Governorate with 2,737 trees damaged and uprooted.
