Israeli settlers damage crops in Hebron

Israeli settlers Saturday caused damages to agricultural crops east of the town of Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

Rateb al-Jabour, from the Settlement and Wall Resisitence Popular Committee, told WAFA that the settlers grazed their livestock in fields belonging to Palestinian farmers in the area of Masafer Yatta, which caused damages to agricultural crops including wheat, barley, alfalfa, and crocuses, which belong to the al-Zuwaidin family.

He noted that a fight took place between unarmed land owners and armed settlers, but the Israeli army came and provided protection for the settlers.
