Palestinian olive trees destroyed in West Bank attack – Jordan Times

HEBRON, Palestinian Territories (AFP) – Dozens of Palestinian olive trees were destroyed in an attack near the city of Hebron, local residents said on Thursday, calling it an act of revenge carried out by Israeli settlers. The Israeli military confirmed that “about 40” trees were burnt and uprooted in the village of Shuweikeh, south of Hebron.

The military and local residents said the attackers left Hebrew-language graffiti at the scene, including a spray-painted Star of David and the slogan “Price tag, Halhul”.
