HEBRON, Friday, October 27, 2023 (WAFA) – Colonial Israeli settlers vandalized and destroyed more than 200 trees and other infrastructure serving the local Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta region, to the south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Terror settler militias destroyed over 200 trees, the sources said, including olive, almond, and grape trees, along with irrigation pipes, water pumps, electrical cables, and a water tank belonging to local Palestinian residents in the Al-Ain Al-Bayda village in Masafer Yatta.

They also severed the water supply pipeline for the community in Saddet al-Tha'ala village, while making death threats against local residents.

These actions are part of an alarming trend of settler violence and aggression against Palestinian citizens and their property in Masafer Yatta. Many see these actions as attempts to forcibly displace local communities from their lands to make way for settlement expansion.
