Israeli settlers under the protection of Israeli occupation forces on Sunday razed Palestinian-owned lands in Ras Karkar village west of Ramallah.
Local sources reported that scores of Israeli settlers in the early morning hours of Sunday brought bulldozers to Ras Karkar and started to level Palestinian lands in the area.
Anti-settlement activist Ayed Mazloum said that the bulldozed lands are owned by the families of Nofal Abu Fkheida and Samhan who have not received any official order to confiscate their lands.
Quoting Mazloum Quds Press said that the razing operation was halted after the residents of Ras Karkar rallied to resist the settler attack.
The Palestinian activist added that in case a confiscation order is issued against the lands Ras Karkar residents will not stand idly by pointing out that the families of Ras Karkar and the neighboring villages have already started to march in the targeted lands to support their owners.
