Israeli colonists vandalized olive trees this morning in the village of Yasouf, located in the central West Bank province of Salfit. Local sources reported that a group of colonists shattered approximately seven olive trees, each over 20 years old, in the al-Wad area north of the village. The trees belonged to a local Palestinian resident. Earlier today, colonists, under the protection of Israeli forces, attacked olive pickers in the nearby village of Jaloud and the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, forcing them to abandon their lands at gunpoint. As the olive harvest season begins, incidents of violence by Israeli colonists against Palestinian farmers have intensified, with reports of assaults, theft of olive crops, and the destruction of trees. These actions are part of a broader pattern of aggression against Palestinian agricultural communities amid ongoing tensions in the West Bank. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
