#3 Can someone calculate a probability that this is actually true, in whole or in part? The only photo connected to the article does not show the results of grazing sheep. I'd bet on the Palestinian imagination, myself.

#4 Actually sheep are harmless for everything but very young trees (under two feet . It is goats who, have the habit to stand on their hindlegs and eat bark and leaves who can do a lot of damage.

But I am sceptical for damage on on olive olive trees even by goats. Olive trees have hard, thick bark and their leaves are very bitter. And mature olive trees were nearly unvulnerable to animal or human action before invention of powder. There is a reason some of them are 2,500 years old.
