Israeli forces have bulldozed agricultural fields and uprooted 400 olive seedlings in the village of Wadi Fukin, west of Bethlehem, according to Al Jazeera.

Ibrahim al-Haroub, the head of the Wadi Fukin village council, told Wafa news agency that the occupation forces stormed the village’s Abu Siaj area near the Israeli settlement of Tzur Hadassah – which is illegally built on stolen Palestinian land – and also bulldozed about 10 acres of land.
