Israeli settlers have uprooted dozens of olive trees Planted on Palestinian land north of Ramallah province in the central Occupied West Bank.
Israeli settlers stormed Palestinian lands in Termas’iya village north of Ramallah and pulled up several olive trees.
Around 10 million olive trees are planted on Palestinian land including in the occupied West Bank and the blockaded Gaza Strip. They are the only sources of income for nearly 100000 farmers living across the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Palestinian government has no jurisdiction over Israelis in the occupied West Bank and violations carried out by Israeli settlers often occur in the presence of Israeli military forces who rarely act to protect the Palestinians.
The majority of settler thefts and attacks committed against Palestinians are met with impunity with Israelis rarely facing consequences for such thefts.
