English: On 27 April 2018, Jamileh Shehadeh, 81, from the village of ‘Urif, Nablus District was told by another local resident that her fourteen olive trees, which grew in a plot 500 to 800 meters away from the settlement of Yitzhar had been cut down. In a testimony she gave B’Tselem field researcher Salma a-Deb’i she said: “The settlers didn’t leave a single tree on our land. I haven’t been able to get there because I’m scared to go by myself due to the settlers’ presence. I’m afraid they’ll hurt me. I’m afraid also for my sons. I told them not to go there alone. Because they work in Israel, they don’t want to file a complaint so that their permits won’t be taken from them. They have families to provide for. I have nothing left. This is the plot I inherited from my father.”
