Colonists Graze Livestock on Palestinian Farmland, Cause Damage to Olive Trees

Gaza: Israeli colonists on Sunday grazed their livestock on Palestinian farmland in the village of al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem, damaging olive trees, said a local official. Head of the al-Minya Village Council Ahmad Kawazbeh reported that the colonists raided the Jammala area, east of the village, and allowed their livestock to graze on Palestinian land planted with olive trees, resulting in damage to the grove.

According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the incidents are part of a recent escalation in attacks by colonists against residents and their property in al-Minya. These attacks have included assaults on homes, the destruction of a local water network, and attempts to steal livestock.

The situation has raised concerns among local officials and residents, who are calling for increased protection and intervention to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the community's resources. The ongoing tensions highlight broader issues of land rights and resource access in the region.
