At dawn on Monday, the Israeli occupation forces burned greenhouses and crops, south of the city of Tulkarm, after targeting them with light and sound bombs.

Farmer Uday Al-Taneeb told the official Wafa news agency that the occupation forces, present at the gate erected on the section of the separation and apartheid wall west of the suburb of Artah, south of the city, fired a barrage of light and sound bombs towards the agricultural lands adjacent to the wall, causing fires in the greenhouses. And the crops were completely burned.

He added that the fire spread to olive and avocado trees and irrigation networks on open agricultural lands, which belong to farmers from the Artah suburb.

Al-Taneeb pointed out that civil defense crews came to the scene and were able to extinguish the fires after a long struggle, due to the winds that helped spread the fire and spread to large areas of agricultural land in that area.

He explained that the occupation forces escalated their violations against farmers in that area after the seventh of last October, preventing them from reaching their lands, which are 300 meters away from the wall, chasing them and shooting at them, in addition to tearing up greenhouses and destroying crops.

He added that the farmers risked their lives to reach their lands to care for their crops, which are their only source of livelihood, but the occupation insists on restricting them by burning greenhouses and destroying the crops.
