The Israeli occupation army’s civil administration bulldozed on Thursday morning a Palestinian-owned tract of land near the main entrance to Deir Istiya town north of Salfit in northern Jerusalem.
According to Deir Istiya mayor Sa’eid Zaidan a crew from the civil administration stormed the town with a bulldozer under military protection and embarked on leveling 600-square-meter tract of land belonging to a local resident.
Zaidan told Quds Press that the owner of the bulldozed land was planning to establish a commercial facility on his own land after he got the permits from the Palestinian liaison apparatus.
He added that the land was bulldozed and annexed with no prior notice.
