Hebron - Saba:
The Zionist settlers poisoned areas of pastoral lands in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, leading to the death of 26 sheep.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa quoted the head of Birin village council in the Yatta desert, Farid Burqan, as saying: "26 sheep, including ten sheep, belonging to a Palestinian citizen, died shortly after returning from pastures." He pointed out that the settlers stormed these pastures earlier and planted tree saplings, in an attempt to seize them.
Burqan added: "The settlers sprayed toxic substances in the pastoral lands that shepherds rely on to feed their livestock... He pointed to the increase in settler attacks south of Hebron, which reached the poisoning of water wells and pastoral lands in Masafer Yatta and its badiyah, in an attempt to forcibly displace Palestinian citizens from their lands and seize them in favor of colonial expansion.
