Jerusalem: Settlers Burn 55 Olive Trees
A group of settlers in the Abu Dis wilderness area, southeast of Jerusalem, burned approximately 55 olive trees over 40 years old while a Palestinian family was harvesting olives on their land, which spans about 14 dunams. The settlers attacked the family and attempted to assault them, forcing the family to withdraw to protect themselves. Afterwards, the settlers returned, set fire to the trees, and burned the tools used for harvesting as well as the olive fruits. These attacks are part of a broader escalation by settlers and the Israeli occupation aimed at encircling Palestinian lands and displacing their owners, especially during the olive harvest season. Such incidents of assault, fruit theft, and preventing farmers from reaching their lands recur regularly. This attack follows an announcement by the occupation in August about measures to annex large areas of territory and declare them "government properties" as part of efforts to establish new settlements. This reflects ongoing escalation and continued targeting of agricultural lands in Jerusalem.
