The Israeli occupation army’s civil administration on Thursday resumed the construction of a road for Jewish settlers leading to the illegal settlement of Efrat south of Bethlehem.
According to a local official a crew from the civil administration escorted by soldiers stormed Khilat al-Nahla area in southern Bethlehem and used bulldozers to build a bypass leading to Efrat settlement.
Last Monday when the Israeli army started to build the road some local residents and landowners intervened and prevented the bulldozers from leveling the area after they demonstrated documents proving their ownership of the seized lands.
