Updated: Settlers continue their attacks on Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank
Today, Tuesday, settlers continue their attacks against citizens and their property in the West Bank.
In Bethlehem, settlers began plowing agricultural lands belonging to citizens from the Abu Kamil family in the Khalayel Al-Loz area, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.
According to local sources, a group of settlers used an agricultural tractor to plow land planted with olive trees in the housing area located between Khallet al-Nahla and Khalayel al-Loz.
He added: When the landowners tried to confront the settlers and stop the plowing, the occupation forces intervened, fired bullets into the air, and detained citizens Ahmed Kamel Abu Kamel and his two sons Tariq and Muhammad, along with Firas Yousef Abu Kamel and Mahmoud Khalil Abu Kamel, before releasing them later.
In Salfit, settlers broke olive trees and stole their fruits in the village of Yasuf.
Meanwhile, dozens of settlers stormed the same area yesterday and damaged olive trees there, but the citizens have not yet been able to reach their lands and assess the damage.
In Hebron, an armed settler blocked the road with his vehicle near the Abu Al-Arqan area, south of Hebron, preventing them from passing, and brandished his gun at them, threatening to kill them.
Eyewitnesses added that the aforementioned settler has been moving for hours on that road searching for citizens’ vehicles, and is trying to approach them brandishing his weapon, warning citizens who wish to move in that area to take the utmost caution and care.
In the northern Jordan Valley, settlers brought a bulldozer this morning and began digging dozens of holes in agricultural lands south of the village of Ein al-Baida, in preparation for planting trees and seizing them.
These lands are owned by the Tabu of citizens of the village of Ein al-Baida, and their owners use them for agriculture. He pointed out that the area that the occupation seeks to seize exceeds 30 dunams, near the junction of the "Mikhola" settlement, which is located on citizens' lands.
