The destruction allegedly took place on Thursday morning. Bulldozers destroyed a stone wall and uprooted a number of olive trees. The damage is estimated to be in the region of 20 000 NIS ($5500).

The land in question is in Area C in the West Bank, which is wholly administered by Israel. The land is apparently owned my Muhammed Abdul Rahman Zeidan and had previously been restored with aid from the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Fund.
