Farmers from Gush Shilo communities in the Shomron on Tuesday morning, isru chag Simchas Torah, reported the destruction of a large vineyard, uprooted by Arabs over yomtov.

The location of the damaged vineyards is between Kedah and Aish Kodesh. They report over 1,000 trees were destroyed just days prior to harvest as they were full of ripe grapes. The farmers explain that most of the trees are permanently destroyed and the financial loss is most significant due to the extent of the atack.

Farmers add that in past attacks, trackers followed the footprints to the nearby Arab village of Kfar Kutzra. Shai (Shomron-Yehuda) police are investigating.
