Palestinian agriculture destroyed: Israeli army uproots 3,100 trees to 'improve defence'

A village council in the occupied West Bank says Israeli forces have not only been attacking Palestinians and their properties -- but also destroying farmland. More than 3-thousand trees have been uprooted in a matter of days. The Israeli army says it was done in order to 'improve defences'. But it fits a broader pattern of increased violence against Palestinians and their property.
