Dozens of Palestinians on Monday morning organized a protest sit-in in Masafer Yatta south of al-Khalil to reject the Israeli occupation authority’s confiscation of lands in this area and the construction of Jewish settlements.
Many members from the families of Buhais Adais and Abu Zahra staged the sit-in in the lands of al-Ain Al-Baida and Khilah Al-Adra east of Yatta protesting the IOA confiscation of large swaths of lands.
The citizens prevented settlers’ bulldozers from leveling the confiscated lands but big numbers of Israeli occupation forces arrived and quelled the citizens and provided protection for the settlers and their vehicles.
On Sunday Jewish settlers leveled thousands of dunums of citizens’ lands in Masafer Yatta.
