Israeli settlers on Wednesday afternoon razed Palestinian agricultural lands in Madama village to the south of Nablus city.

Anti-settlement activist in the northern West Bank Ghassan Daghlas said that a group of settlers escorted by an Israeli military force stormed the area and started to bulldoze privately-owned lands.

Daghlas added that the villages and towns of Nablus have witnessed several incidents of settler violence after an Israeli settler was killed in a shooting attack on Tuesday evening near Nablus.

In a related context the Israeli occupation forces sealed off the road where the anti-occupation attack was carried out and blocked the Palestinian citizens’ movement.

Israeli settlers on Sunday razed privately-owned Palestinian lands in Asira al-Qibliya village in Nablus province.

Head of the Asira al-Qibliya village council Hafez Saleh said that a group of Israeli settlers broke into Jabal Salman area and started to bulldoze Palestinian citizens’ lands.

Saleh explained in statements to Quds Press that the bulldozing operations were carried out in lands that Palestinians are denied access to under the pretext that they are close to the outposts belonging to Yitzhar settlement.

He pointed out that no intervention was witnessed from the Israeli soldiers stationed in a nearby camp to stop the settler aggression.

Hafez added that he has contacted the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committee and other concerned institutions to work to put an end to the Israeli settlers’ attempts to expand one of the settlement outposts established in the area.
