The volunteers filmed footage of the group
as it was destroying the trees, filming its members for several
minutes, until one of the group noticed they were being recorded. At
that point, the group began shouting and threatened to attack the
volunteers. The group quickly loaded the trees onto a pickup truck and ran away.
Itzik Shadmi, chairman of the Council,
called on the IDF and the government to put more effort into preventing
these kinds of provocations, and to keep the anarchist and student
groups who ostensibly come to “help” the Arabs in the olive harvest out
of the area. “Thanks to these patrols, which are manned by volunteers
from the Binyamin region, we have shown the true faces of these Arabs,
who each year complain that Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria
destroy their trees.”
Last week, volunteers also caught a group destroying trees, and filmed them as well (see video below). That incident occurred near Elon Moreh. That group apparently did not have a pickup truck
to move the evidence when they were caught, and instead left the
damaged trees in the field. Volunteers called police, but no arrests
were made.
