Groups of settlers, yesterday, Monday, October 27, harvested the olive crops belonging to citizens Shukri Ali Murad, Muhammad Ali Murad, and Ibrahim Ali Murad, from the village of Gunde Bike Kendi Bika, affiliated with Bilbileh town in the occupied Afrin countryside, according to the Afrin Human Rights Organization.

The organization stated that the settlers harvested the fruit from more than 50 olive trees within a few hours, using plastic pipes, sticks, and iron rods, which led to the breaking of tree branches and caused serious damage, in addition to stealing the entire harvest.

This incident comes as part of the ongoing violations against the properties of Afrin’s original residents by Turkish occupation mercenaries.
