According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the landowner, Saad Fashafsheh, reported that colonists stormed his agricultural land near the village of Al-Fandakumiya with agricultural machinery. They began plowing and cultivating the land with the intention of seizing it, operating under the protection of the Israeli occupation army.
