HEBRON, May 13, 2012 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers from the illegal outpost of Havat Ma'on in the southern West Bank governorate of Hebron Sunday raided Palestinian private land and cut tens of olive trees in al-Tuwani, a village east of the town of Yatta, in south of Hebron, according to a local activist.

The Popular Committee Coordinator in Yatta, Rateb Jabour, told WAFA that Israeli settlers and army frequently attack Palestinian residents in the south Hebron hills east of Yatta to forcibly drive them out of the area and take over land for settlements expansion.

Jabour urged international rights organizations to intervene and stop the Israeli “cancerous” settlements activities.
