Israeli army threatens to raze vineyards in western Bethlehem

Monday 6-September-2021

The Israeli occupation army on Sunday notified four Palestinian citizens of intent to bulldoze their grapevine plantations in Battir town west of Bethlehem.

Those citizens planted their own swaths of land with grapevines about five years ago in al-Qusair area of the town and they have documents proving their ownership of their lands.

The Israeli army justified its intended measure by claiming that the entire area is Israeli state land.

The vineyards belong to Khalil Abu Ni’mah Ghassan Abu Ni’mah Ameen Farrah and Hijazi Asila.
