An-Najah News -  Israeli settlers damaged 50 olive trees and grapevines in al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem city.

This was not the first time that settlers wreaked havoc the land, and that settlers were exploiting the lockdown enforced on Bethlehem district over coronavirus spread to expedite the destruction of Palestinian groves.

Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.

It includes arsons of property and mosques, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
