A group of 8 international activists along with 3 Palestinian members of the Palestine Solidarity Project accompanied the Aady family to their land on the hillside opposite Bat Ayn, on the outskirts of the Palestinian village of Beit Ommar. The land is marked for annexation by the settlement, and is frequently subject to settler violence. They worked for three hours, burning off and cutting down brush and unwanted trees. Their intention is to prepare the hillside for replanting of 2,000 olive trees.
I was wondering, it is unknown for Palestinians to burn down olive trees, it is considered absolutely haram, forbidden and they sure wouldn't do it in broad daylight.
People were seen burning an area of land and an explanation was given for why that could be based on past experiences.
