Colonists vandalize agricultural land in village north of Ramallah

RAMALLAH, November 10, 2026 (WAFA) — On Tuesday, colonists vandalized agricultural land in the town of Sinjil, located north of Ramallah.

Local sources reported to WAFA that a group of colonists attacked the "Gharaba" area, west of the town, where they vandalized agricultural land and destroyed the fencing and gates surrounding it. The property belongs to a local resident, Marwah Abd al-Haq.

The same sources noted that the colonists had previously uprooted dozens of trees on an adjacent plot of land, which also belongs to the same farmer.

It was further noted that colonists infiltrate the town from an outpost established on its lands about a year ago. They carry out near-daily attacks and obstruct residents from accessing their own land.

The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission has documented 674 attacks carried out by occupation forces and colonists against olive trees and farmers in the West Bank—including occupied Jerusalem—over a 37-day period, from October 1 to November 6.

In its reports, the Commission stated that 520 of these attacks were perpetrated by settlers, while 154 were carried out by the occupation army.

It noted that the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate recorded 130 attacks, ranking second behind the Nablus Governorate, which recorded 230 attacks.

The attacks included assaulting olive harvesters, preventing them from reaching their land, firing live ammunition and tear gas canisters at them, stealing crops and agricultural equipment, damaging or uprooting trees, and setting fire to land and agricultural property.
