A horde of extremist Jewish settlers uprooted on Thursday dozens of olive trees and assaulted shepherds in Masafer Yatta south of al-Khalil in the occupied West Bank.
Local official Fuaad al-Omar said that settlers uprooted 60 olive trees aged about one year each belonging to a citizen from the family of Amour.
This was the second time settlers uprooted olive trees in the same areas in less than two months.
Omar added that the same settlers also assaulted local shepherds and tried to expel them from a nearby pasture where they were grazing their cattle but they stood up for themselves and refused to leave.
