![]() Israeli soldiers manning a gate in the illegal Israeli wall separating the northern West Bank village of Al Zawia from its agricultural land refused to grant farmers access to their lands on Thursday. The farmers reported that, upon reaching the gate, soldiers closed it, refusing them entry and forcing them to leave the area. Local sources added that most of the lands trapped behind the wall are the only source of income for those farmers, and that not being able to collect the olive and almond fruits farmed there means that they will have no source of income. The sources called upon local and international human rights groups to intervene in order to stop the suffering of the farmers. |
