Israeli forces seize tractor for Palestinian farmers in Masafer Yatta

HEBRON: The Israeli occupation forces today seized an agricultural tractor and chased Palestinian farmers and shepherds out of their pasture in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, according to local and security sources. They said that Israeli forces seized an agricultural tractor carrying seven farmers while they were reclaiming their farmland in Masafer Yatta and held them for several hours. Meanwhile, a group of Israeli colonists further released their sheep into large areas of Palestinian agricultural crops near the village of Al-Fakhit, chased after the herders and farmers and prevented them from entering their lands and grazing their cattle. There is a surge in colonists and occupation forces attacks against Palestinians and their proprieties in Masafer Yatta, including seizing large tracts of pastoral areas and chasing shepherds.
