BETHLEHEM, Thursday, August 3, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Thursday uprooted dozens of olive saplings in the town of Battir, to the west of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Amr al-Qayssi, an activist, told WAFA that an Israeli army unit was accompanied with a bulldozer when raiding the eastern part of the village, and proceeded to raze a land of 4 donums, uprooting dozens of olive, owned by local resident Mazen Abu Ne'me.
He added that the area has been recently targeted by settlers, who are razing tacts of lands, uprooting trees, setting up settler-only carvans and preventing people from accessing their lands.
