Bethlehem – Ma’an – Settlers burned dozens of olive trees in Khalayel al-Loz, southeast of Bethlehem, on Thursday.

Hassan Breijieh, from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, told Ma’an’s correspondent in Bethlehem that a group of settlers set fire to agricultural fields in the town belonging to the Al-Abayat and Al-Mawaleh families, which led to the burning of dozens of olive trees in the area.

Two days ago, a group of settlers had placed a caravan in the same area, in an attempt to control it and establish a new settlement outpost.
