Leftists from outside Israel and local Arabs have joined forces to attack hilltop communities throughout Judea and Samaria, the Mabat news program reported on Channel One television. The latest attack occurred in the southern Hevron Hills community of Sde Calev, where 400 saplings were uprooted. Residents said that in the past several weeks an electric cable has been cut and a projector and locks were stolen.
The wave of attacks has included several intrusions at Dolev, in Samaria, where Arabs have repeatedly uprooted saplings. A similar incident occurred near Susia, and other attacks include the arson of a temporary synagogue at Yad Yair in Samaria.
