Days of Palestine – Ramallah
Israeli occupation forces attacked Sunday Palestinians protesting an attempt to take over 600 dunums of their land in the southern West Bank town of Tarqumiya, a local activist reported.
Suleiman Jaafreh, an activist in the defense of the land committee, said that settlers came to the land in an attempt to take it over as landowners and residents were working on reclaiming the land to protect it from the settlers.
He said the residents and settlers got into a scuffle when soldiers intervened to protect the settlers and attacked the residents.
Israeli occupation claimed the 600 dunums were state land, which it wanted to take over in order to expand illegal settlements nearby after handing 10 landowners notices to leave their land planted with olive trees.
Israeli occupation authorities demolished 14 houses and dwellings, making 19 families homeless, a total of 90 persons, including 21 women and 51 children in May 2022.
Also, they demolished 10 commercial facilities, built a road for settlers, razed 22 dunums, and authorized the expulsion of 2000 people from Masafer Yatta in Hebron.
