Colonial settlers on Monday uprooted and stole olive trees and fruits in the town of Qaryut, southeast of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.

The citizens discovered the theft of olive fruits and uprooting 12 trees from their lands in the Al-Sira area near the Esh Kodash settlement outpost, east of the town, according to local sources.

The citizens caught one of the settlers while he was picking olives, while another settler managed to escape. The occupation forces reached the site and released the settler without taking any measures against him.
