A new report - "Who Will Protect My Olive Tree?" - describes the torching of 900 dunams of grazing ground, a stable, and 30 pomegranate trees belonging to Yehuda Cohen of Bat Ayin. Shamai Pozak at Ofra had young saplings chopped down, tons of grapevines destroyed before the harvest, and irrigation pipes torched. Moshe Kedem of Pnei Kedem had 500 olive tree saplings uprooted. At Sde Calev in the Hebron Hills, arson consumed more than 100 cherry trees, and buildings and storage sheds were set on fire. Just recently, another 400 grapevines were uprooted.
