Israeli occupation authorities have leveled Palestinian lands east of Bethlehem paving the way for a settlement project in the area.
Anti-settlement activist in Bethlehem Hasan Brijiyah said Israeli bulldozers leveled Palestinian lands located between Nokadim and al-Dad illegal settlement outposts in an attempt to set up a park for Jewish settlers.
The targeted lands cover an area of nearly 100 dunums.
An access road will be opened and benches installed as part of the new project.
Recently the occupation authorities grabbed hold of 400 dunums of Palestinian lands in the area. An Israeli court also green-lighted the establishment of 270 settlement units on occupied Palestinian land.
