Jewish settlers ruin olive trees south of Al-Khalil

AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- A gang of Jewish settlers from Havat Maon settlement at dawn Saturday destroyed about 40 olive trees in Al-Hamra area of Tuwani village south of Al-Khalil city.

Local sources said the settlers cut off the trees' branches that were full of olive fruits and wrote racist slurs against Arabs on a water well belonging to Rabaei family.

In the morning of the same day, dozens of villagers and Palestinian and foreign peace activists gathered in this olive land to protest the attacks waged systematically by the Jewish settlers against the Palestinians and their property south of Al-Khalil.
