Furtherly, on Saturday, the Israeli Occupation Forces prevented an activity of plowing lands in Al-Sawiya village, south of Nablus, and seized large areas of Azzun Atma, south of Qalqilya village lands.

According to Ahmed Shaheen, dozens of citizens went out to the Al-Wad region, east of the village, to plow the land and protect it from settler attacks, but the occupation army prevented them from plowing their lands, on the pretext that they are closed military areas, according to local sources.

Shaheen added that the area is constantly under attack by Israeli settlers, as an Israeli settler from the “Rahalim” settlement has set up a tent in Al-Wad region, and settlers have cut hundreds of olive trees during the past months.
