Palestinian customs check crews on Wednesday caught an Israeli dustcart carrying solid waste including construction debris in an attempt to discharge them on Palestinian lands in Salfit.
A statement by the Public Relations Administration at the Customs Police Station said a garbage truck carrying solid waste from the industrial zone of the Israeli settlement outpost of Karni Shamron was detected in Salfit.
According to the customs authorities the waste spotted onboard the Israeli trucks is harmful to the ecosystem and natural world for it includes insoluble materials and products.
The customs officers forced the truck to pull back shortly after staff members of the Environmental Quality Authority showed up in the area and warned of the ecological dangers that are likely to be wrought by the trash.
The statement revealed the launch of a series of legal measures to protect Palestinian landowners in Salfit from such hazardous attempts by the Israeli occupation authorities and settlers.
