Sources: Israeli bulldozers raze farmland south of Bethlehem
Israeli forces bulldozers on Thursday razed Palestinian-owned farmland in the region of Khallet al-Nahla, south of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to local sources.
Coordinator of the National Committee against the Wall and Settlements, Hassan Brijieh, reported that a sizable Israeli military force accompanied bulldozers to the location, located near Wadi Rahal village, and leveled a 3 plot of farmland planted with olive trees and belonging to Saleh Jawareesh.
He added that the region has been a regular aim of the Israeli forces and settlers’ attacks as a tool to push its Palestinian citizens out of their lands in order to take them over to develop the nearby illegal colonial settlement of Efrat.
