QALQILIYA – Israeli forces prevented Palestinian farmers from reaching their lands in the Kafr Thulth village, in the Qalqiliya district of the northern occupied West Bank, to harvest their olive trees, on Saturday.
Head of Kafr Thulth’s village council, Zaki Omar, said that Israeli forces closed the main gates surrounding the illegal Israeli settlement of Alfei Menashe, near which the lands are located, preventing more than 50 farmers from entering their lands for olive picking.
Farmers reportedly own more than 3000 dunams of lands planted with olive trees in the vicinity of the illegal settlement.
