Ammon News - Israeli forces detained two brothers on Saturday while they were harvesting olives on their land in the Khillet Umayra area, east of Yatta, and seized several vehicles and agricultural tractors in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

Osama Makhamreh, an activist opposing settlements, told WAFA that Israeli forces detained brothers Munther and Nadhir Mohammad al-Adra while they were picking olives on their land in the area.

Meanwhile, Rateb al-Jabour, coordinator of the Popular Committees Against the Wall and Settlements east of Yatta, said Israeli forces chased tractor drivers and vehicle owners and forced them to unload the livestock feed they were carrying before seizing their tractors and vehicles.

In a related development, Israeli forces raided the home of Thaer Jawad Sultan early Saturday and handed him a military order requisitioning his house for several hours. The house is located opposite a newly established settlement outpost built on Palestinian-owned land and property, next to al-Rayyan Mosque on Jabal al-Rahma.
