Palestinian media report:
Settlers' cows grazed, today, Sunday, rain-fed crops for citizens in the Marmalah area in the northern Jordan Valley.
And human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh said, "The settlers let off their cows in the rain-fed crops that the citizens planted in the agricultural lands in Marmalah, which led to the destruction of areas. "
This is strikingly similar to a February report:
Over the past two weeks, the settlers have relied on releasing their cows to the citizens' rain-fed crops in several areas of the northern Jordan Valley, especially Al Hadidiya, Makhoul and Samra.
Note that the articles don't say that the cows ate or damaged wheat or barley fields. Just "rain-fed crops."
What, exactly, are these "rain-fed crops"?
If this photo accompanying the story is accurate, "rain-fed crops" are otherwise known as ....grass.
Doesn't sound quite so menacing, does it?
