Anti-Israel activists are claiming that Israeli “settlers” are using wild boars to threaten Palestinians, The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday.

“Israel is using wild boars to strengthen its colonial hold on Palestinian land,” the U.S.-based Institute for Middle East Understanding stated.

“Israeli settlers have been found to release wild boars onto Palestinian farmland as a form of abuse. These illegal settlers use the boars to pressure and intimidate Palestinians, hoping to drive them away from their lands and vacate them for illegal settlement growth,” the NGO said.
