JENIN, August 9, 2025 (WAFA) – Colonists Saturday evening uprooted olive trees belonging to Palestinian residents in Khirbet Masoud village, southwest of Jenin, according to local sources.

Sources reported that Israeli bulldozers uprooted several olive trees in Khirbet Masoud to pave colonial roads leading to an illegal colonial outpost established in the area since 2019.

Last week, the occupation bulldozers began leveling lands and uprooting olive trees owned by citizens from Zibda and Khirbet Masoud areas, after the occupation army marked the olive groves with orange paint, despite the owners holding official ownership documents.

Khirbet Masoud belongs to the Zibda Village Council and consists of three communities inhabited by approximately 350 people.

The occupation continues to level areas adjacent to the illegal colonial outpost established on the mountain, seizing dozens of dunums of agricultural land.
