JENIN, September 10, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces uprooted olive trees on Wednesday morning from lands belonging to the towns of Yamoun and Al-Arqa, west of Jenin.
Yamoun Mayor Ibrahim Khamayseh told WAFA that Israeli bulldozers stormed the town, leveled agricultural land belonging to a resident of the town, uprooted the olive trees, and demolished agricultural barns inside them.
The soldiers also demolished an adjacent plot of land belonging to a resident of Al-Arqa.
He added that the occupation forces had notified the landowners six months ago ordering the removal of the trees and the restoration of the land to its previous state.
According to Khamayseh, approximately six Israeli bulldozers are still operating on the land, and more than 50 olive trees have been uprooted so far.
The occupation forces have prevented the landowners and residents from accessing the area.
