NABLUS (PIC)– Inhabitants of Khirbat Al-Tawil hamlet south of Nablus city have gone on hunger strike for a single day on Saturday to protest Israeli occupation authority’s practices against them.
Quds Press quoted Hamza Dairiye member of the popular committee to defend the hamlet land as saying that the hunger strike the first of its kind was in protest against the IOA plan to raze all 17 houses of Khirbat Al-Tawil in addition to a mosque and an electricity network.
He said that the IOA decided to demolish the entire hamlet within a week at the pretext it was built on military land in “C” area in the West Bank which is under full control of the IOA.
The activist said that Khirbat Al-Tawil and nearby areas are the most fertile lands overlooking the Jordan Valley with 30000 dunums cultivated with wheat legumes and vegetables while 10000 others dunums are left for cattle grazing.
