Israeli forces damage olive groves in southern Syria
Published
On Sunday, Israeli forces continued to level agricultural land with bulldozers in Syria's southern Quneitra Governorate. According to reports, the grading damaged olive groves that are important to local farmers.
Quneitra lies near the Golan Heights. The area has long been a politically sensitive one. Olive trees are an important source of income for many families, and their destruction could have effects far into the future. Growing trees takes years, so the damage will not be repaired quickly.
The report did not specify exactly how large an area has been damaged or how many groves have been destroyed. A comment from the Israeli military was also not available at the time the report was published. More information on the situation is expected in the coming days.
The news directly concerns the area between Syria and Israel, and at this stage it has no direct connection to Finland. Developments in the situation are worth following through reliable news sources.
