The Israeli Army issued two military orders Tuesday to uproot olive trees and other vegetation from 307.48 dunams of Palestinian land in Jenin and Qabatia in the northern West Bank, IMEMC News reported.
The orders affect agricultural areas where Palestinians cultivate olives and other crops. Tree removal operations in the region have destroyed Palestinian agricultural resources and disrupted farming communities.
