Israeli occupation forces uprooted dozens of olive trees Tuesday along the road connecting the towns of Arraba and Yabd southwest of Jenin, Shehab Wire reported. The operation included extensive bulldozing and destruction of agricultural land adjacent to the roadway, damaging farming areas where olive cultivation remains a primary livelihood for Palestinian farmers in the region.
The demolition marks another instance of land disruption in the Jenin area, where Israeli military operations have frequently targeted Palestinian agricultural infrastructure and property. Olive groves are central to the Palestinian economy and food security, with trees often representing multi-generational family assets.
