NABLUS (Ma'an) -- Settlers cut down over 50 olive trees in the Nablus village of Aqraba on Friday, Palestinian official Ghassan Daghlas said.

Settlers from Elon Moreh, located east of Nablus, attacked Aqraba and cut down 50 olive trees from the Juhr al-Dik area of the village.

The trees belonged to Said Bani Jame.

Several other trees were damaged during the attack, Daghlas added.

The villagers have filed an official complaint to Israeli authorities through the Palestinian liaison office.

Over 7,500 olive trees were damaged or destroyed by settlers between January and mid-October in 2012, according to OCHA.

Settler violence against Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank is systematic and ignored by Israeli authorities, who rarely intervene in the violent attacks or prosecute the perpetrators.

Settlers are way more driven and aggressive than other Israelis, some of them feel that Israel is not good enough and that they build their own state instead.

Nothing really surprises me anymore about these people.

It is said that Israelis cut down Oilive trees because they have been mentioned in some prophecies. They go against them. I don't know how true it is but it's interesting that Israelis have special thing against olive-trees because of following narration(s):




Imam Muslim (d.261/839) has narrated from Abu Hurayrah , that he heard Allah’s Messenger saying, "The Last Hour would not come until the Romans (I would equate it with NATO now, I could be wrong.) would land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Madina (to counterattack them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say, "Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us (so may be some enenmy soldiers would be abducted.). Let us fight with them;" and the Muslims would say, "Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them." They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army), which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah’s eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople. And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry, "The Dajjal has taken your place among your family." They would then come out, but it would be to no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus, son of Maryam (Mary) would descend and would lead them to prayer. When the enemy of Allah would see him(some Hadith say when Dajjal would see Jesus hewill dissolve), He would (dI`sappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by His hand and He would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ)."

funny isn't it that hazzy will always be the first one to post news from gaza... yet he encourages the world to forget that west bank exists...

thanks to @RFS_Br for this report.

Stop lying, West Bank and Gaza is the same thing. The Palestinians are one people and I post about all violations of our people in all of our land. Meanwhile you're trying to insinuate they're separate. Which is another quality of a Zionist.

they say they plant vinyards after they uproot the olive yards

LOL. Even Ma'an doubts in this completely baseless "report", putting it in quotes " ".
