^Ahmad Jaradat, 'Israeli Settler Violence Report: March and April 2011,'Archived 2011-11-24 at the Wayback MachineinAlternative Information Center, 12 June 2011: 'On 4 March, settlers from Shvut Rachel in the southeast Nablus District damaged around 500 olive trees belonging to families from the village of Sorra. According to the Palestinian settlement file office in the northern West Bank, "the settlers attacked in the early morning hours, damaging and uprooting about 500 olive trees. Some of the settlers also entered the village and stoned homes". These attacks are part of the settlers' "price tag" plan, announced against Palestinians in the West Bank. The plan was ostensibly launched because the Israeli army dismantled several mobile houses in some outposts and settlements in West Bank, including the outpost of Giv'at Gil'ad in the North.'
