AL-KHALIL, (PIC)– A group of Jewish settlers on Monday planted trees in Palestinian farmland in Baka’a area east of Al-Khalil city in preparation for taking full control of the area, eyewitnesses reported. They told the PIC that dozens of armed settlers, who were escorted by army soldiers, came from Kiryat Arba settlement and planted the trees. Baka’a is a constant target for settlers from Kiryat Arba who want to annex its land to the settlement, which was already established on land usurped from the same area.
