Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) forced Sunday evening, March 19, 2023 a number of Palestinian farmers to leave their lands in Al-Khader town, south of occupied Bethlehem.

The activist in the field of settlement resistance, Ahmed Salah, said that the occupation forces forced a number of Palestinian farmers from the Sobeih and Issa families to leave their agricultural lands located in the “Al-Mashraa” area, and threatened them with detention once returned.

It’s noteworthy that Israeli occupation forces have recently increased their targeting of Al-Khader town, as they launch continuous campaigns against Palestinian residents there.

These campaigns included bulldozing their lands, shooting at them, detaining them, and demolishing their agricultural rooms in an attempt to expel them and seize their properties for the benefit of their settlement projects.
