The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has decided to annex 398 dunums of Palestinian land in the West Bank village of Jinsafut in the east of Qalqilya and declare them as state land.
The IOA delivered a military announcement in this regard signed by Yossi Segal the Israeli official in charge of the so-called government real estate and absentee property in the occupied West Bank.
The announcement included maps of the sites that were declared as state land by the Israeli government.
According to local sources these annexed lands are located in the areas of Qurna Khilat Dejah Jabel as-Sureij Khilat al-Ballaa Ras Bashir al-Aroudh and Wadi al-Khaneq.
The Israeli army had already seized vast tracts of land belonging to Palestinian citizens from Jinsafut village and bulldozed over 100 dunums of their land in order to expand the illegal settlement of Emmanuel.
