Israeli settlers bulldozed Palestinian lands in Broukin town west of Salfit to expand the Ariel industrial zone.
A PIC news correspondent said Israeli bulldozers leveled Palestinian cultivated lands and ranches covering 20 dunums in Khilet al-Zaafaran in Broukin.
Researcher Khaled Maali said the move makes part of Israeli attempts to build more factories in the Ariel industrial zone in an act feared to destabilize even further the Palestinian ecosystem.
Maali added that four Israeli industrial zones have been established on Palestinian land in Salfit in flagrant infringement of international law.
