Some Israeli settlers Tuesday flooded Palestinian-owned farmland with sewage and wastewater in Sebastia town, north of the West Bank city of Nablus.

Mayor of Sebastia town Mohammad Azzam told SAFA that settlers from the settlement of Shavei Shomron were responsible for flooding Palestinian-owned land in the western section of the town with sewage and wastewater, disrupting the olive harvest.

Azzam confirmed that the land is planted with olive and apricot trees, which means that farmers are incurred with heavy material losses.

The settlers recently have adopted the policy of flooding the Palestinian land with wastewater, aiming at destroying the trees and depriving their owners of their fruits, and forcing them to leave.
