“On May 22nd 2020, I received a phone call from one of my neighbors , telling me that four colonists invaded my land and uprooted the grape saplings. I, also, received another call on June 3rd 2020, in which I was informed that a settler named “Yossi” drove his tractor into my land and destroyed the retaining walls surrounding it. As a result of these attacks, 40 grape saplings were uprooted and 70 m long retaining wall was destroyed”.
