Gaza: Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday uprooted nearly 40 centenary olive trees in the village of Zabuba, west of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, according to a local source.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Zaki Jardat, head of the Zabuba Village Council, reported that the occupation forces escorted bulldozers near the villagers' homes. The heavy machineries razed an approximately two-dunum land plot and uprooted nearly 40 decades-old olive trees.
Jaradat further added that the affected landowners had received no prior notices before the uprooting. He noted that the occupation forces have destroyed nearly 3,000 trees in the village since the beginning of the year as part of ongoing land-leveling operations.
