The Israeli occupation army uprooted dozens of olive trees in the town of Teqoa, southeast of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Teqoa mayor Mohamed al‑Badan reported that Israeli bulldozers escorted by soldiers uprooted dozens of olive trees in the al‑Baq’ah area at the western entrance of the town.
He added that the bulldozed olive groves are located in the area around the military watchtower there.
These groves and other swaths of land in the area belong to Palestinian citizens from Sa’ir town in northern al-Khalil.
