Israeli bulldozers have razed a vast tract of land inside and around the settlement of Rafafa which was built illegally on a land annexed from the Palestinian towns of Deir Istiya and Hares in Salfit province.
Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the bulldozing activities were intended to expand the settlement and took place mainly in the southern part of the settlement near the bypass road used by settlers.
Israel’s illegal settlements in Salfit devour more Palestinian lands on semi-daily basis in the towns and villages of Salfit province in order to build housing units and infrastructure projects for its Jewish settlers.
