Israeli occupation forces uprooted more than 200 mature olive trees in the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiyah south of Nablus on Monday, according to Shehab Wire. Bulldozers belonging to the Israeli military carried out the operation in the Palestinian agricultural area.
The village lies in the southern Nablus district, a region where Israeli settlement expansion and land confiscation have repeatedly drawn international criticism.
