Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday razed vast tracts of Palestinian-owned land in Bruqin town west of Salfit in preparation for settlement expansion.
Palestinian researcher Khaled Ma’ali said that the Israeli occupation authorities are preparing to expand Brukhin settlement on Palestinian land in Bruqin town.
He explained that about 25 Israeli settlements have not ceased to expand on the lands of 18 Palestinian residential communities in Salfit since they were established.
The Israeli government has announced that hundreds of new settlement units will be set up in Brukhin settlement in a grave violation of international law which criminalizes settlement construction in occupied territories.
