Colonists cut down trees in northern Jordan Valley

TUBAS: Israeli colonists launched an assault this morning on the al-Farisiya village in the northern Jordan Valley, northeast of the occupied West Bank, cutting down trees and destroying crops.

Mahdi Draghmeh, a local activist, reported that the colonists targeted the Khallat Khadr area in the village, severely damaging vegetation and parts of an agricultural greenhouse.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, colonists carried out 204 attacks in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, during August. These attacks resulted in the murder of two Palestinians in the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya, and Wadi Rahal in Bethlehem.

Additionally, the commission documented 206 incidents of vandalism and theft by Israeli colonists, affecting large tracts of land, stealing 509 sheep, and confiscating nine vehicles, tractors, and other equipment. A total of 477 trees were uprooted, including 397 olive trees.
