Israeli settlers cut down dozens of grapevines and destroyed water lines and a fence in the village of Duma, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
The owner of the land that was attacked told the Wafa news agency that settlers cut down about 50 grape seedlings, and that they had previously attacked the area several times.

Israel has become notorious for its attacks on the media, both in terms of censorship and actual loss of life. Days ago, we cited a report that found these attacks extend even to family members of media workers, with more than 700 killed since the start of its genocidal war in Gaza in October 2023.
