Israel Notice To Northern West Bank: Land Will Be Confiscated, Olive Trees Destroyed

Israeli forces are uprooting dozens of olive trees in Zubaba Village, northwest of Jenin. The Coordinator of the Youth Initiative for Freedom from the Al Yamoun Village Cultural Center told PNN that Israeli forces occupying northwestern Jenin confiscated large tracts of Zubaba Village for the Wall.

Hundreds of farmers will no longer be able to reach their trees and crops when Israeli forces have completed the confiscation and destruction in the Palestinian town. Coordinator Zayed said that Israeli forces recently distributed leaflets written in Arabic announcing the intention to uproot the olive trees. The decision was made by the Israeli Commander of the Central Region for “security reasons.”

Zayed continued, “The destruction is arbitrary and is not based in any law other than illegal occupation. Bulldozers are destroying the land and the trees just as the olive season harvest is upon us.”
