A group of Jewish settlers on Sunday uprooted apple olive and almond trees and destroyed cucumber crops to the south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Local activist Ahmad Salah reported that Jewish settlers razed trees that are more than ten years old to the south of Al-Khader town adding that the trees belong to the heirs of the deceased Palestinian citizen Musa Da’du’.
Palestinian citizens in al-Khader town have recently witnessed escalating settlers’ attacks against their lands and property.

According to local sources Jewish settlers set fire to trees and vandalized facilities of the park during an evening raid into the Bir Abu Ammar area to the west of the town.
Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers have intensified their attacks against the Bir Abu Ammar area as a prelude to seizing control of the area in favor of settlement expansion plans.
