Settlers destroy olive trees west of Bethlehem

Saturday 29-October-2016

Jewish settlers on Saturday morning burned and sabotaged many fruitful olive trees in Nahalin town west of Bethlehem.

The owner of the olive grove Ahmed Fanun said that after he and his family went in the morning to his plot of land which is located between the town and Gush Etzion settlement they were surprised to see the widespread damage that happened to the trees.

Fanun added that 20 olive trees were either burned destroyed or uprooted.

The farmer has appealed to the competent authorities and concerned activists to provide protection for his land especially since that was not the first time his grove was exposed to sabotage by settlers.
