The Israeli occupation army on Wednesday prohibited the local authorities in the north of Yatta city from setting up high-voltage power lines in Berin area to supply Palestinian residents with electricity.
According to local official Rateb Jabour Israeli troops stormed Berin area and delivered a stop-work notice ordering the local authorities to stop carrying out the electricity project.
The notice also said the foundations to be used for the project would be seized by the Israeli military authority in the region.
Jabour said that such measure was part of Israel’s efforts to force West Bank residents to leave their areas in order to appropriate more Palestinian lands and expand settlement activities.
