The Israeli occupation authorities issued on Sunday military orders to confiscate Palestinian lands in al-Sharawiya area north of Tulkarem and in the towns of Baqa al-Gharbiyye and Jatt located in the northern Triangle area of occupied Palestine.
Sufian Shadid the head of al-Sharawiya Services Council said that Palestinian citizens found these confiscation notices near the gate of the apartheid wall near Nazlat ‘Isa village which raised concern and fear among farmers over targeting the rest of their lands located behind the wall.
Shadid added that the notices provided for seizing 142.2 dunums of Palestinian lands pointing out that the owners of these lands were given a seven-day time limit to object to these orders at the so-called Coordination and Liaison Office (Ephraim) or the Office of the Israeli Attorney General.
For his part the head of the village council of Nazlat ‘Isa Ismail Abu Shawareb affirmed that the orders said that a detailed map of the confiscated sites is attached but he continued it was not there which made things unclear for them.
Shawareb emphasized that the farmers municipalities and councils in the notified sites will follow up the issue legally through the local and international judiciary in cooperation with the competent ministries of the Palestinian Authority especially that the owners of these lands have official papers proving their ownership of their lands.
