NABLUS: Colonial Israeli settlers uprooted dozens of olive trees today in the village of Qusra, located south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. Fuad Hassan, a local activist, reported to WAFA that the settlers plowed more than 30 dunums of land in the Al-Furn area north of the village and uprooted dozens of decades-old olive trees. Hassan explained that the settlers seized the uprooted trees, noting that the local Palestinian citizens were unable to access the area due to the Israeli army providing protection for the settlers in their rampage. The incident adds to the ongoing challenges faced by Palestinian farmers in the region, as settler attacks on agricultural lands continue to escalate, exacerbating tensions in the area.
