Palestinian activists and civilians stood on guard on Thursday to Israeli attempts to build a new road leading to the illegal settlement outpost of Adam built on Palestinian land in Jaba’ village north of occupied Jerusalem.
Head of the Jaba’ village council Muslim Dar Salim said Israeli settlers broke into Palestinian lands in the area in an attempt to open a new road.
The settlers set up metal barriers in order to prevent the Palestinian land owners from accessing the area.
Eye-witness Atallah Arara said the locals thwarted the measure carried out by extremist Israeli settlers.
On Wednesday Israeli occupation authorities uprooted more than 60 olive trees from Palestinian groves in Jaba’.
