RAMALLAH, September 20, 2026 (WAFA) — Israeli colonists today uprooted and damaged dozens of olive trees in the town of Ni'lin, west of Ramallah.

Local sources told WAFA that a group of colonists raided the al-Khalal area, west of the town, and began cutting down and breaking dozens of olive trees.

The attack comes four days after colonists leveled Palestinian-owned land and opened agricultural roads west of Ni'lin. The area has recently witnessed intensified colonist activity, including land leveling and road construction.
