NABLUS: Israeli colonists today razed large-tract lands in the village of Qaryut, south of Nablus.

Human rights activist Bashar Al-Qaryuti reported that a group of Israeli colonists razed 15 dunums of lands planted with olive trees in the Khirbet Sarra area southeast of the village.

He pointed out that this is the first time that colonists bulldozed in this area, which raises citizens’ fears of colonial expansion, especially since the area is located between the illegal colonies of Shovot Rachel and Shilo.

The village has been witnessing ongoing attacks committed by occupation army and colonists.
