Jewish extremist settlers uproot 300 olive trees in al-Khalil

An extremist group of Jewish settlers uprooted on Saturday hundreds of olive trees and saplings near Yatta town to the south of al-Khalil city.

The Coordinator of the Popular Committee against Wall and Settlement, Ratib al-Jabour, told the PIC reporter that a group of extremist settlers, from Susya and Maon settlements, illegally established on Palestinians’ lands, uprooted more than 300 olive trees and seedlings east of Yatta.

The main purpose of settlers’ repeated offences is the expulsion of Palestinians from their native lands to make way for expanding their settlements, Jabour said.
