Israeli forces close roads in Bethlehem, settlers cut down olive trees in the West Bank

Israeli occupation forces closed several roads with earth mounds today in the town of Tuqu', south of Bethlehem. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that the occupation forces closed the entrances to Khirbet al-Deir, as well as other entrances in the town center, with earth mounds, restricting the movement of residents and hindering access to Bethlehem city center.

Settlers cut down hundreds of olive trees in the lands of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah.

WAFA stated that a number of settlers from the settlement of Adi Ad, built on the town's lands, cut down approximately 400 olive trees in the town's plain.

Days earlier, settlers had set fire to a house and a vehicle in the same town.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, occupation soldiers and settlers carried out a total of 1,819 attacks during the month of March, continuing the systematic terrorism practiced by the occupying power against the Palestinian people, their land, and their property.
