West Bank, (Pal telegraph)-Israeli bulldozers invaded Tuesday the village of Dier Esta in Salfit and started razing operations to agricultural lands uprooting 200 olive trees.

Israeli soldiers forcibly prevented residents and farmers from entering their land declaring it a “military closed zone”.

Witnesses told local sources that Israeli soldiers assaulted the owner of the olive trees, Kamal Abdel Rahman, who suffered from a heart disease.

Kamal was halted from entering his land and required immediate treatment after being severely beaten by Israeli soldiers.

Villagers appealed all human rights institutions to urgently stop Israeli demolition to their agricultural crops and plants that supported many Palestinian families as the main source of income. 

  Recently, Israeli army attempted to race agricultural lands and uproot trees in order to facilitate the construction of more illegal settlements on the territories of Salfit.
