The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raided on Sunday a number of Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta area south of al-Khalil city and handed stop-work notices against a number of agricultural facilities.
Coordinator of the Anti-Settlement National Committee Rateb al-Jabour said that an IOF force accompanied by officials from the so-called the Organization and Construction Committee stormed a number of villages to the east of Masafer Yatta and attacked Palestinian farmers.
Jabour said in a statement to Quds Press that the IOF handed two Palestinian farmers stop-work notices under the pretext that their agricultural barracks were built without a license in Area C which is completely controlled by Israel according to the Oslo Agreement.
The Palestinian activist pointed out that the IOF soldiers have detained since the morning a number of vehicles owned by Palestinian workers who were interrogated without a clear justification before arresting one of them.
He added that the IOF also detained a vehicle carrying a number of female employees of the Ministry of Education before releasing them after several hours of detention.
