Israeli settlers uproot olive saplings near Bethlehem

Israeli settlers Sunday uprooted olive saplings from Palestinian lands in the village of al-Khader, south of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Ahmad Salah, an activist, told WAFA that settlers uprooted 45 saplings from lands south of the town, owned by local resident Eissa Salah.

Israeli settlers have recently escalated their assaults against Palestinians’ lands in al-Khader, where they uprooted 400 olive saplings.
