The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Monday resumed the construction of a road for Jewish settler on annexed Palestinian-owned lands in Umm Safa village northwest of Ramallah in the West Bank.
Chief of the village Marwan Sabah reported that Israeli bulldozers and other heavy construction vehicles escorted by troops and settlers embarked on resuming the construction of the road which is more than two kilometers long.
The road whose construction started about six months ago will go from the illegal settlement of N’betsof near Umm Safa village to al-Qastal Mount according to Sabah.
The local residents and their property in Umm Safa were exposed to more than 25 assaults by Jewish settlers during the recent olive harvest season.
