JENIN, July 15, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday uprooted nearly 40 centenary olive trees in the village of Zabuba, west of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to a local source.

Zaki Jardat, head of the Zabuba Village Council, reported that the occupation forces escorted bulldozers near the villagers’ homes, where the heavy machineries razed approximately two- dunum land plot and uprooted nearly 40 decades-old olive trees.

Jaradat added that the affected landowners had received no prior notices.

He noted that the occupation forces have destroyed nearly 3,000 trees in the village since the beginning of the year as part of ongoing land-leveling operations.
