On Monday, illegal Israeli colonizers uprooted 850 olive trees and grape vines in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
Osama Makhamra, a local anti-settlement activist, told the WAFA News Agency that armed paramilitary settlers from the “Susya” colony, invaded Khirbet Khallet al-Hummus, under army protection.
Makhamra added that the settlers stormed the home of the Ebeid al-Masri family and uprooted 850 grape vines and olive trees, and ransacked an agricultural room.
Meanwhile, illegal colonizers set up caravans on Monday, on citizens’ lands in the town of Mikhmas, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, while Israeli soldiers invaded the town, providing security for the settlers.
Media sources reported that the colonizers erected mobile homes and began construction on citizens’ lands, under the protection of occupation forces.
In the same context, Israeli authorities delivered demolition orders targeting a school and a house, and a stop-work order against another house in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
Osama Makhamra told WAFA that occupation authorities delivered a demolition notice to the Khilat Amira school in the Abu Shaban area.
He added that the school, which consists of 8 caravans, serves 54 students from kindergarten to grade 4, noting that the school had previously received a stop-work order.
Media sources said that the occupation authorities handed a demolition order targeting the home of the citizen Naif Bassam Al-Amour.
In the “Arfa’iya” area, east of Yatta, the authorities handed the citizen Musa Mahmoud Amar a stop-construction order targeting his 180-square-meter house.
