What Type of Clash? How Many Trees Destroyed?

Was this a physical clash or just verbal?

Itamar settlers clash with killers of Fogel family

Settlers in Itamar were outraged Sunday morning after Palestinians from Awarta arrived in Itamar for their annual olive harvest in the settlement. According to the settlers, among the Palestinians who arrived in Itamar were the family members of Amjad and Hakim Awad who brutally stabbed and murdered five members of the Fogel family six months ago.

The settlers claimed that the Palestinians shouted "We'll Fogel you" and drew their fingers across their necks indicating slaughter. Dozens of women and children from Itamar protested against the move, including Tamar Fogel who lost her parents and three siblings in the heinous terror attack

Another question:

So, Yitzhar allows Arabs to continue to grow olive tress and harvest their olives?

Aren't "settlers" immoral?

Oh, and besides the clash, how many trees were destroyed? And if none (see above), does that mean one need carefully trust Arab sources on tree destruction?


UPDATE

Seems residents were informed of the entry and now they are demonstrating against the army for allowing them in.

and an AFP report.

Mostly women, including Tamar Fogel, participated. Hebrew report.
