OCCUPIED WB, (PIC)– The Israeli settlers’ attacks have escalated recently in West Bank cities, where they uprooted on Thursday 40 olive seedlings in Yatta, south of al-Khalil.
Dozens of settlers stormed Khella Gazioa area in Yatta town and uprooted 40 olive seedlings under the protection of Israeli forces, the activist Ratib Jabour said.
Jabour added that the Israeli forces prevented the Palestinian farmers from having access to their lands while protecting the settlers in attacking Palestinians and their properties.
In similar attack, Israeli settlers have severely beaten a Palestinian farmer up and stole his olive fruits in Zawiya town in Salfit, while he was with his wife picking olives on his land.
They also forced his family to leave the land before steeling his olive harvest.
Palestinian farmers in West Bank districts have complained of the escalated settlers attacks that precede the olive harvest season.
In Nablus, Palestinian farmers are subjected to settlers’ attacks on daily basis especially near Itamar and Elon Moreh settlement built on Palestinian lands.
Local sources in Deir al-Hatab said that the Israeli soldiers prevented Palestinian farmers from reaching their lands without coordination with the Israeli Civil Administration.
Meanwhile, Israeli settlers from Itamar settlement have attacked farmers in Furik municipality where 4 Palestinians were arrested.
Settler attacks usually witness a sharp escalation during the Olive harvest season, and include the uprooting of Palestinian trees, in addition to attacks the residents, and international supporters, while picking their olive trees.
