Hebron: Large tracts of cultivated land on Tuesday evening caught fire due to Israeli army bombs in the Idhna town, west of Hebron, according to local sources. They said that the occupying forces barged their way into the town and unleashed barrages of concussion grenades towards Wadi As-Sifr area, surrounded by a section of Israel's annexation wall, setting vast tracts of wheat-cultivated land on fire.
According to Palestine news and Information Agency, the incident has raised concerns about the impact of military actions on agricultural lands in the region. The fire has reportedly caused significant damage to the wheat fields, which are a vital resource for the local community.
Local residents have expressed their frustration and concern over the repeated military activities in the area, which they say threaten their livelihoods and the safety of their environment. The use of concussion grenades in the vicinity of cultivated lands has been a point of contention, with calls for measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident underscores ongoing tensions in the area, highlighting the challenges faced by farmers whose lands are adjacent to conflict zones. There have been no reports of injuries, but the economic impact on the farmers is expected to be substantial.
