Sinjil:On Tuesday, colonists vandalized agricultural land in the town of Sinjil, located north of Ramallah. Local sources reported that the "Gharaba" area, west of the town, was attacked, resulting in damage to the agricultural land and the destruction of fencing and gates surrounding it. This property is owned by a local resident, Marwah Abd al-Haq.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, the colonists had previously uprooted dozens of trees on an adjacent plot of land, also belonging to the same farmer. The sources indicate that colonists infiltrate the town from an outpost established on its lands about a year ago, engaging in near-daily attacks and hindering residents from accessing their own land.
The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission has documented 674 attacks by occupation forces and colonists against olive trees and farmers in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, over a 37-day period from October 1 to November 6. In these reports, the Commission stated that 520 of the attacks were perpetrated by settlers, with 154 carried out by the occupation army.
The reports further noted that the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate recorded 130 attacks, ranking second behind the Nablus Governorate, which recorded 230 attacks. These incidents included assaulting olive harvesters, preventing them from accessing their land, firing live ammunition and tear gas canisters at them, stealing crops and agricultural equipment, damaging or uprooting trees, and setting fire to land and agricultural property.
