Israeli settlers embarked today on plowing a 100-dunum Palestinian-owned land near the village of Al-Jiftlik, to the north of Jericho, local sources said.
Ahmad Ghawanmeh, mayor of the village, said that a group of settlers embarked on plowing the land in preparation for its subsequent confiscation, although the land is classified as state property.
There are over 600,000 Israeli settlers illegally occupying portions of the West Bank in violation of international law and established norms prohibiting the relocation of the occupying power’s civil population to the land of the occupied.
It’s noteworthy that these provocative acts come amid the escalating atmosphere, especially after the formation of the new Israeli Government as daily violations against Palestinian citizens, deliberate detentions, house demolitions and mandatory deportation policy are doubled and multiplied in a way to suffocate and complicate Palestinian lives.
