TOP News Brief
Israeli occupation forces bulldozed Palestinian agricultural land and uprooted dozens of mature olive trees in the town of Ajja, south of Jenin, according to Shehab Wire. The demolition operation unfolded Wednesday as part of what the military characterized as clearing activity in the area.
The work targeted established olive groves in the southern section of the town within Jenin governorate. Residents and Palestinian officials have documented repeated Israeli military operations across the region that they say destroy Palestinian farming infrastructure and livelihoods. The uprooting of olive trees, some of which have stood for generations, has become a recurring element of the broader land-use disputes across the West Bank.
