<p>Salfit – PNN &#8211; On Thursday morning, Israeli bulldozers plowed 15  dunums of land cultivated with olive trees (a dunum is about a quarter  of an acre) in Deir Istiya, a village near Salfit in the northern West  Bank.</p>
<p>Nazmi Salman, the Deir Istiya municipal council head, told  Palestinian state-run news agency Wafa, “The bulldozers were accompanied  by someone who said he was a Civil Administration officer and an  environmental guard. They came to a plot of land called ‘Qatan al-Jama,’  near the Rafafa settlement, which is built on Deir Istiya lands, and  started plowing.”</p>
<p>The exact number of olive trees destroyed is  unknown, but Salman said the plot was the property of local farmer  Muhammad Abdurrahman Zaydan. Israeli bulldozers also destroyed a  half-meter stone wall meant to protect the property.</p>
