BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Settlers set fire to over 400 olive trees in a village southwest of Bethlehem on Sunday, locals said.
More than 12 acres of trees were set alight by settlers from nearby Bat Ayin settlement, witnesses said. The land belongs to Haj Abdul-Rahman Hamdan.
Since 1967, Israeli forces have confiscated over 2,500 acres of land from al-Jaba village, leaving only 750 acres to Palestinian residents.
