The Israeli occupation authorities on Monday uprooted some 100 olive trees in the Wad Sair area, east of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, in order to take over the land.

Mayor of the town of Sair, Mousa al-Froukh, told WAFA news agency that the soldiers uprooted the trees as they get ready to seize the land located near the illegal settlement of Asfar in order to enlarge the watchtower that overlooks the road near the settlement.
