TULKARM July 08. 2024 (Saba) - Zionist enemy forces on Monday morning targeted plastic houses and crops, south of Tulkarm city, with flash and sound bombs, causing fires to break out in them.
The Palestinian Wafa News Agency quoted farmer Uday Al-Taneeb as saying that the occupation forces, present at the gate erected on the section of the separation and apartheid wall west of the suburb of Artah, fired a barrage of light and sound bombs towards the agricultural lands adjacent to the wall, causing fires in the greenhouses and crops that burned completely.
He added that the fire spread to olive and avocado trees and irrigation networks on open agricultural lands, which belong to farmers from the Artah suburb.
Al-Taneeb pointed out that civil defense crews came to the scene and were able to extinguish the fires after a long struggle, due to the winds that helped spread the fire and spread to large areas of agricultural land in that area.
He explained that the occupation forces escalated their violations against farmers in that area after the seventh of last October, preventing them from reaching their lands, which are 300 meters away from the wall, chasing them and shooting at them, in addition to tearing up greenhouses and destroying crops.
He added that the farmers risked their lives to reach their lands to care for their crops, which are their only source of livelihood, but the occupation insists on restricting them by burning greenhouses and destroying the crops.
