Violent clashes broke out on Sunday when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed a Palestinian-owned land in Kafr Laqif village east of Qalqilya and embarked on razing it in preparation for its confiscation.
Head of Kafr Laqif’s village council Nayef Jaber said that IOF soldiers and settlers attacked the Palestinian citizens who confronted the illegal confiscation attempt of 27 dunums of Palestinian land in favor of settlement expansion.
Jaber said that the Palestinians of Kafr Laqif managed to force the settlers out of the land and stop the razing operation noting that legal procedures will be taken in the coming days.
He added that the Israeli authorities have been planning to seize Palestinian lands from the village to expand Karni Shamron settlement.
