The Israeli occupation army on Monday ordered a number of Palestinian citizens to evacuate their own lands in Battir town west of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Local official Hasan Berejiya said that Israeli forces stormed al-Khimar area of the town and handed local residents notices ordering them to evacuate their lands at the pretext they are Israeli state property.
According to the notices the landowners were given 30 days to file an objection against the military order.
Al-Khimar area of Battir town has been exposed to a frenzied attack by the Israeli army and Jewish settlers who try to seize it through placing mobile homes and planting saplings.
