IOA bulldozes lands trees in J’lem and W. Bank

Wednesday 9-August-2023

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) bulldozed on Wednesday olive trees and structures on a swath of land belonging to a Palestinian family in the east Jerusalem district of Silwan.

According to local sources the Israeli municipality in Jerusalem failed to bulldoze a house belonging to the same family in Silwan after the owner managed to obtain a court verdict freezing its demolition.

In a separate incident Israeli forces delivered on the same day eight stop-work orders against homes in Sinjil town north of Ramallah.

One of these homes had been burned by extremist Jewish settlers in 2013 and its owner started recently to renovate it.

In al-Khalil Israeli forces seized a crane belonging to the municipal council of Khallet Mayeh village and stopped Palestinian workers from repairing a power network in eastern Yatta.

In Salfit the IOA bulldozed 20 olive trees and vast tracts of agricultural land belonging to Palestinian citizens in Kafr ad-Dik town in order to build a road for Jewish settlers.
