In Al-Khalil district IOF troops escorted huge tractors that started bulldozing a road linking the settlement of Sossia to newly annexed Palestinian lands in Yatta village east of Al-Khalil.
Witnesses said that the confiscated land lot was more than 150 dunums in area that was cultivated with trees and other plantations.

For its part the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement the Quds Brigades on Monday took the credit for firing two Quds-3 home made missiles at Sderot settlement in the western Negev.
