Colonists Monday evening set fire to olive trees in the town of Hizma, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, according to local sources.

Colonists from the illegal colony of Geva Binyamin, built over land expropriated from the Palestinian village of Jaba’, stormed the vicinity of the eastern area of Hizma and set fire to the olive trees.

Colonists’ violence against Palestinians and their properties has dramatically increased since the onset of Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people on October 7th, 2023.

The indiscriminate violence by Israeli colonists against Palestinian civilians and their properties has been widely condemned.

Several countries have imposed sanctions against Israeli colonists accused of committing acts of violence against the Palestinian people in the West Bank.
