IOF seizes six Palestinian-owned cars in Masafer Yatta

Wednesday 17-August-2022

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed on Wednesday at-Tuwani village in Masafer Yatta south of al-Khalil and confiscated six Palestinian vehicles belonging to local residents.

Local official Fuaad Amour said that such Israeli measure was part of the Israeli plan to tighten the noose around the Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta in order to force them to leave their homes and areas.

Last May the Israeli high court of justice rejected appeals against eviction orders targeting the Palestinian residents of Masafer Yatta the region designated by the Israeli occupation army as a closed military training site.

This court decision which ended the legal proceedings that lasted for more than two decades gave the Israeli army the green light to displace the local residents and use their areas for military training.

In a separate incident the Israeli army ordered on Tuesday Palestinian farmers in different villages of Jenin province to stop well drilling works in their areas.

Local sources said that the IOF launched a large-scale campaign against water wells in agricultural areas of different villages in the northeast of Jenin especially in Deir Abu Da’if Beit Qad and Deir Ghazaleh.

The IOF also delivered similar stop-work orders against agricultural wells near the towns of Zababdeh and Qabatiya in southern Jenin and Marj ibn Amir area in the west of Jenin.
