The Israeli occupation army on Thursday morning bulldozed vast tracts of Palestinian agricultural land and uprooted hundreds of olive trees in Kharas town west of al-Khalil city in the West Bank.
Head of the town’s municipality Abdul-Fattah Qudaimat reported that three bulldozers escorted by soldiers flattened 25 dunums of agricultural land and uprooted 500 fruitful olive trees in Khalat Rasem area west of the town.
Qudaimat added that the olive grove belongs to a local farmer called Mousa Hamdan.
He affirmed that such action was part of Israel’s systematic violations aimed at seizing Palestinian agricultural areas in the West Bank.
