The Israeli occupation authorities on Monday issued orders to demolish and evacuate Palestinian structures in Bethlehem province.
Hasan Brijiyah from the Popular Anti-Settlement Committee said an Israeli patrol showed up in Khilet al-Nakhla and handed over a Palestinian family a notification to evacuate their land tract covering an area of 45 dunums after they declared it “state property”.
Another Palestinian citizen—Mohamed Ayesh—received an order to stop the construction of a water well on his land lot under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
Sometime earlier an Israeli court confirmed Brijiya’s ownership of the land after Israeli settlers tried to seize it added Ayesh.
The activist warned of the swift pace of Israel’s demolition policies throughout the West Bank which he said have been remarkably nurtured by the U.S. President Donald Trump’s recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel’s capital among other unilateral moves made at the expense of Palestinian rights.
