"The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs recorded damage to 7,714 Palestinian-owned trees in the first eight months of 2013, a 27 percent increase from the same period a year before. Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group, said in a report published this week that Burin, a village of about 3,700 people near Nablus that is surrounded by three Jewish settlements, had lost the most trees.
On Sunday, the report said, two Palestinian farmworkers and two Israeli helpers were injured when masked men with batons attacked them while they were harvesting."
