Israeli settlers uproot dozens of fruit trees south of Bethlehem

Today, Sunday, settlers uprooted dozens of olive, almond and vine trees in the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem.

According to local sources, settlers, accompanied by a large bulldozer, attacked the Shushahla area, south of Al-Khader, and bulldozed 15 dunums, uprooted about 100 olive, almond and vine trees, and destroyed 15 beehives, owned by two citizens from the Salah family.

The sources added that the Shushahla area has been under attack for some time by the occupation forces and settlers, as agricultural rooms and old houses were demolished, and lands were bulldozed, while citizens were prevented from reaching their lands.
