Enemy forces uproot hundreds of olive trees west of Ramallah

Israeli enemy forces uprooted hundreds of olive trees from Palestinian-owned land between Beit Ur al-Fauqa and Beit Ur al-Tahta, west of Ramallah, on Tuesday.

The head of the Beit Ur al-Fauqa village council, Ali Samara, told the Palestinian news agency Wafa that Israeli enemy bulldozers uprooted dozens of olive trees and other trees while clearing dozens of dunams of Palestinian-owned land on the western side of the village. The land belongs to eight Palestinian residents and is adjacent to the military checkpoint at the village entrance.

Samara explained that the Israeli forces had threatened Palestinian residents with the intention of bulldozing approximately 50 dunams of land on both the eastern and western sides of the village, most of which is planted with olive trees.
