Israeli bulldozers on Wednesday leveled Palestinian lands east of Deir Balout town to the west of Salfit in favor of illegal settlement expansion.
Over recent days over 100 olive trees got chopped down and cultivated lands bulldozed as part of Israel’s illegal settlement activities across Salfit.
Palestinian farmer Abdullah Idris said Israeli bulldozes uprooted his olive trees and destroyed his crops planted on his private land.
Idris warned of underway attempts by the Israeli occupation authorities to grab hold of fertile lands in the area.
Researcher Khaled Maali has warned of the swift pace of Israel’s settlement activity in the area which he said contravenes international laws and treaties.
