Israeli army delivers demolition notices bulldozes land in W. Bank

Sunday 8-January-2023

The Israeli occupation army delivered on Sunday demolition notices against homes and water wells in al-Khalil and bulldozed vast tracts of Palestinian-owned land in Nablus and Jericho.

According to local sources Israeli forces stormed al-Jawaya area in Masafer Yatta south of al-Khalil and handed local residents demolition orders against five inhabited homes.

Entire families including children will be rendered homeless soon as a result of the Israeli measure.

Another local resident was also handed a demolition order against three wells belonging to him while two others received a notice ordering them to stop reclaiming their plot of land in the area.

In Nablus the Israeli army bulldozed vast tracts of land in the eastern area of Qusra town in order to carry out projects for Jewish settlers who established a nearby outpost recently.

In Jericho a horde of Jewish settlers plowed about 100 dunums of land belonging to Jiftlik village.

Recently human rights groups warned that dozens of illegal settler outposts across the occupied West Bank would be legalized and vast tracts of land would be seized for settler-related projects during the coming period following the deal that Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu signed with far-right security minister Itamar Ben Gvir ahead of the formation of their coalition government.
