Palestinian settlement monitoring authorities say a group of extremist Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian olive farms in the north of the occupied West Bank.
Residents from the notorious Yitzhar settlement, near the city of Nablus, destroyed the trees in the village of Burin some 150 meters (yards) from their settlement on Thursday morning.
Now, this is a constant theme story. I do not know how true this particular story is (there are others, like this one or this one) and I have been informed by a good friend that basically, there are more stories about cut-down or burnt trees than trees.
Whatever.
But I would to know, how many Arab olive trees are there so that we can put this into a perspective and be informed when we are reaching saturation.

Speaking of olive trees, see this from Israelity:
It’s olive harvest time in these parts, which I was reminded of while passing [a possibly] public grove of olive trees on King David Street, in which several Arab women were picking and harvesting the crop.

It's actually to promote a new store selling olive oil, but it also says that Arabs commandeer and harvest olive trees wherever they find them, even if the trees don't belong to them.
