A group of Israeli settlers uprooted on Friday evening olive trees in the south of al-Khalil, while scores of them stormed al-Majour area near Dura.

Local sources said that the settlers had uprooted more than 15 olive trees, under the protection of occupation forces, near the town of Yatta, south of al-Khalil.

Eyewitnesses told "PIC" that hundreds of settlers broke into the districts of al-Majour and Rajam Abu Hilal in the South of Dura, south of al-Khalil, and toured near a Palestinian school in the area, protected by Israeli soldiers.

The groups of settlers stormed Wadi Abu Qamra in Dura on Friday morning causing concerns among citizens about the occupation intentions of setting up settlements in those areas.
