   “…violence in the #WestBank is also spiking. Attacks on Palestinians by the Israeli military and settlers are up, according to the UNOCHA, which estimates more than 170 Palestinians have been killed and more than 2,600 injured in the West Bank since the war began.

   …Abuhejleh says that when he tries to get to his olive trees, the war is the reason Israeli soldiers point to for stopping him. He is convinced they are using the war as an excuse to seize Palestinian land.”

     @aral This is nothing new. When I was in Hebron in 2019 I talked to a farmer family too, but it was even worse for him because his family house has been demolished 3 times already and when I was there I saw that the IDF bulldozered his whole farm, ripped out all the trees, destroyed all vegetables and fruit plants. He even traveled to Geniva to talk in front of the UN about their situation but nothing changed. His name is Atta Jaber, you can google him for more context.
