Nearly 400 left-wing Israeli activists turned up on February 4, Friday morning, in order to help the Palestinian farmers plant olive trees near the West Bank village of Burin; two weeks after an attack by extremist settlers, there left numerous people injured.
According to the “Avi Dabush”, the hundreds of Israelis, including those injured by Jewish terrorists, returning to the scene where the attack occurred represents a significant victory.
“We announced that we will not give in to brutality and that we would return to the field to stand in solidarity with Palestinian olive farmers, especially on those who regularly attack them. And that is what he did,” he said.
As per the organization, numerous settlers from the illicit Givat Ronen outpost tried to reach the area where the planting took place, but they were overlooked by the army force, which coordinated the event.
But, as per the military’s statement, there was “conflict” which is going in between the activists and troops. “Security forces conducted at the scene to preserve order and to prevent happenings of violence,” the statement read.
Furthermore, Israeli Defense Forces said one activist was in prison in order to attack a soldier allegedly, and then he was arrested by the police officers. “The IDF considers any incident of violence against security forces seriously.
Troops had stopped the convoy of cars and buses for unknown reasons.
פשע שנאה הלילה בא-סאוויה:
תחקירן @YeshDin מדווח כי הבוקר התעוררו תושבי א-סאוויה וגילו שאלמונים ביצעו פשע שנאה במהלך הלילה על קירות של שני בתי מגורים. בין היתר ריססו "ארצנו לעמנו" ו-"עוד יבוא יום הנקמה". בנוסף, ניקבו צמיגים ל-6 מכוניות. pic.twitter.com/ThpbyAfuxG— Lior Amihai (@lioramihai) February 4, 2022
Numerous lawyers were also presented at the Friday planting event, including the Joint Ahmad Tibi and Meretz’s Gaby Lasky and Mossi Raz.
After the event, lawyers visited the vacated illicit outpost of Evyatar after the broke of news on Wednesday morning that ex-attorney general Avichai Mandelblit had approved a settlement deal between the authority and settlers to legalize the outpost in his final hours in the office.
The move was very controversial among the ideologically diverse government coalition, but they still require the final acceptance of Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
As per the Raz twitter, they arrived at Evyatar in a bid to demand immediate evacuation.
