The Israeli military threatened on Tuesday to uproot dozens of olive trees planted on Palestinian land in the village of Bardala in the northern Jordan Valley.
Local activist Aref Daraghmeh said the targeted olive trees date back to over 15 years and are located close to civilian homes.
Daraghmeh said the measure makes part of Israeli attempts to rein in Palestinians’ presence in the area destabilize farmers’ agricultural activity and seize Palestinian lands in favor of illegal settlement expansion.
