Israeli bulldozer uproots olive trees in the village of Al-Lubban ash-SharqiyaMojahid Nawahda – Middle East Eye Aug 6, 2026Israeli bulldozers destroyed scores of olive trees in Palestinian villages near Jenin on Wednesday, as part of an ongoing campaign of uprooting olive groves across the occupied West Bank. Among those affected is Fuad Yahya Maqalda, whose family has cultivated olive trees on the land for generations. “Just as the olive harvest season is approaching, three plots of land that have belonged to our family for generations were targeted. They uprooted 111 olive trees from one plot and another 215 from a second. “In some cases, bulldozers enter agricultural land and begin clearing it without any prior military order.”
