HEBRON, A group of settlers destroyed and stole today evening Palestinian-owned seasonal crops planted in a 20-dunum of agricultural land in the Masafer Yatta area to the south of Hebron, according to a local activist.

Coordinator of the Protection and Steadfastness Committees in Masafer Yatta, Fouad al-Amour said farmers and herders were surprised to see that their crops were stolen and destroyed by Israeli settlers who took advantage of residents’ preoccupation with Eid al-Fitr holiday.

Settlers further grazed their sheep through the crops, which the owners rely on to feed their livestock amid the increasing prices of fodder.
