The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday stormed al-Nuway’imah town north of Jericho and handed two Palestinian citizens orders to evacuate their houses in preparation for their demolition.
Local residents told the PIC reporter that the IOF stormed Arab al-Zayed area and handed Mahmoud al-Zayed and Ail al-Zayed the demolition notices. Other citizens in the area received similar notices earlier.
Head of the Arab al-Zayed Bedouin community Sheikh Abdul-Rahim al-Zayed told the PIC reporter that there is an Israeli plan to seize about 150 dunums of the village’s lands and annex them to the nearby Mevo’ot Yeriho settlement.
He added that the Israeli settlers usually roam the area armed with guns and attack the residents of Arab al-Zayed in an attempt to push them to leave their lands.
