The Israeli occupation authorities on Thursday seized hundreds of dunums of Palestinian land in Dura town in the southern occupied West Bank province of al-Khalil.
Speaking with the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) Dura mayor Ahmed Salhoub said the occupation authorities held sway over 292 dunums of Palestinian land in Dura to expand an Israeli settlement illegally built in the area.
Salhoub also said the occupation authorities banned the municipality from building a thoroughfare in al-Tabaka village to the west of Dura on claims that it is adjacent to the Israeli settlement.
