BETHLEHEM, August 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists Friday night uprooted and cut down dozens of grapevine, olive, and almond trees in the town of Nahalin west of Bethlehem, according to a local official.
Head of Nahalin village council, Jamal Najahreh, told WAFA correspondent that colonists cut down 100 grapevines, olive, and almond trees in the northern part of the town belonging to one of the local citizens, and 40 similar trees belonging to another.
Israeli forces and colonists have escalated their attacks on Palestinian citizens and their property in Nahalin, including the installation of mobile homes, the uprooting of trees, and the demolition of houses, structures, and agricultural rooms.
