Olive groves fall for Israeli barrier in West Bank clash
Israeli workers with chain saws cut down Palestinian farmer Mahmoud Saadeh's 180 olive trees in Bidou to clear space for a West Bank security barrier. A clash wounded at least one Palestinian villager and two Israeli police as replanted trunks later survived only sparsely. The incident underscores tensions as Israel pursues a barrier plan amid broader disengagement moves with Gaza.
