Israeli forces bulldoze Palestinian lands uproot trees in Bethlehem

Wednesday 22-February-2017

The Israeli occupation bulldozers on Wednesday morning leveled Palestinian cultivated lands and uprooted olive trees and almonds in Bethlehem’s southern town of al-Khader.

Coordinator for the popular anti-settlement committee in al-Khader Ahmed Salah said the Israeli occupation army has been leveling Palestinian lands in an attempt to establish an access road leading to the Hatamar illegal outpost built on Palestinian lands in the area.

The targeted land tracts reportedly belong to the Palestinian citizen Issa Salah and cover an area of three dunums mostly planted with olive trees and almonds dating back to over 30 years.

The activist added that the Israeli forces destroyed a penthouse covering 20 square meters and a stone wall set up decades ago in the area.
