Israeli bulldozers destroy agricultural structures, fields in Hebron

http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=688408

Israeli bulldozers early Tuesday demolished agricultural structures and leveled fields in northwest Hebron, locals told Ma'an.

Witnesses said bulldozers escorted by Israeli troops entered private Palestinian fields in the Farsh al-Hawa neighborhood and tore down four buildings used for agricultural purposes.

Bulldozers also destroyed almond and grape vine fields in the area, locals added.

Israel destroyed more than 663 Palestinian properties in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 2013, displacing 1,101 people, according to UNOCHA. Around 241 more people have been displaced just since the beginning of 2014.


The apartheid picnic has tricked out its rims tractor treads. It's so much easier to flatten hope that way.

Plowing and paving, plowing and paving. Nothing says "love for the land" like flattening it out to put some soviet-looking apartments on top!

I mean, we keep getting yold that there's no ethnic cleansing going on... what else could it be?

The Israelis love the land so much that it doesn't matter who is on top of it or flattened under their bulldozers.
