A horde of extremist Jewish settlers took over dozens of dunums of agricultural land in al-Khalil province, south of the occupied West Bank, while Israeli forces installed security cameras in northern Ramallah and blocked main roads in Bethlehem.
According to local sources, settlers seized 60 dunums of agricultural land belonging to Palestinian citizens from Attal family in the south of al-Khalil.
The seized dunums are located in al-Tayaran area near the illegal settlement of Shim’a.
In a related incident, Israeli forces expelled Palestinian farmers from their own lands in southern al-Khalil at the pretext they are state property.
Those lands, about 250 dunums, belong to the families of Attal, Abu Sharkh, Mansiya, Makharza.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces installed security cameras at the northern entrance of Sinjil town in northern Ramallah, which has been closed for two months, as a prelude to building a separation wall in the northern area of the town.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers kidnaped two Palestinian citizens, raided homes and confiscated a number of cars in Beit Liqya town, northwest of Ramallah.
In Bethlehem, Israeli forces closed several entrances leading to al-Khader town, Beit Sahour town and Beit Jala City.
