A group of Israeli settlers on Friday stole olive crops from 420 olive trees in the villages of Qaryut and Awarta to the south of Nablus city.
Anti-settlement activist in the northern West Bank Ghassan Daghlas said that the Israeli settlers stole olives from about 300 olive trees belonging to a Palestinian land in Qaryut village that is owned by the Palestinian citizen Jibril Mousa.
Daghlas added that a similar incident involving 120 olive trees was reported in Palestinian lands in Awarta village located near the illegal settlement of Itamar.
According to the human rights activist Zakaria al-Sadda Mousa’s family were supposed to pick their olives next Sunday after they have managed to obtain a permit from the Israeli authorities but they lost their whole harvest of olives.
Mousa’s family were previously exposed to multiple attacks and received threats from Israeli settlers to destroy their lands.
