settlers uprooted, today, Saturday, dozens of olive seedlings in the northern Asira lands in the Nablus governorate.
The Director of the Ministry of Information´s office in the north, Nasser Jawabra, said that citizens discovered that dozens of olive seedlings that were planted on Friday in the Khillet al-Daliya area at the top of Mount Ebal, which were targeted by settlers, were uprooted, and a settlement outpost was removed from its lands.
He added that a group of settlers, with the protection of the occupation army, returned yesterday and tried to set up a number of tents in the area, but the people confronted them, which led to the outbreak of confrontations during which a number of citizens were injured by rubber-coated metal bullets and suffocation cases due to tear gas.
It is noteworthy that two settlers´ caravans were removed from the summit of Mount Ebal in the lands of the northern town of Asira in Basin No. 37, called the Khilat al-Daliyah region, after the area witnessed weekly anti-settlement rallies.
