These actions involved the uprooting of olive groves, the construction of settler-only roads, the seizure of thousands of dunums…and the fencing off of land to establish colonial pastoral outposts. Furthermore, agricultural greenhouses and plastic-covered planting structures were destroyed or set ablaze.
It added that 178 attacks targeted forests and vegetation, resulting in the uprooting of thousands of fruit-bearing and perennial trees…causing losses estimated at $67 million. Additionally, wheat and barley fields were set on fire through the use of tear-gas canisters and incendiary devices.
