6 December 2022
On Tuesday, 6 December 2022, at around 10:00 A.M., Civil Administration personnel arrived with a military and Border Police escort and a digger at the community of Birin, located northeast of the town of Yatta in Hebron District, and uprooted 55 eight-year-old olive trees in a grove belonging to a Palestinian family from Hebron, claiming it was on state land.
The forces then moved on to the community of khirbet a-Safai al-Foqa, which is located in Masafer Yatta inside the area the military declared Firing Zone 918. The forces dismantled and confiscated two tents used as classrooms for the community’s schoolchildren since Israel demolished their school two weeks earlier.
