BETHLEHEM: An Israeli Colonist uprooted this evening hundreds of grape vines and almond trees in the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem.
Head of the al-Khader village council, Ibrahim Mousa, told WAFA correspondent that a colonist from the nearby illegal colony of Navi Daniel, bulldozed around 15 dunums of land and demolished retaining walls along the Nahallin Road, which led to the uprooting of nearly one thousand grape vines and almond trees belonging to local residents.
He said that that this particular settler had previously bulldozed dozens of dunums in the al-Thaghra area with the aim of forcing its local owners out and taking over the land.
