A horde of Jewish settlers on Monday deployed a barbed wire fence on Palestinian-owned land in the north of Ya’bad area southwest of Jenin.
Local official Omar al-Khatib chief Dhaher al-Malih village in northern Ya’bad said settlers from the illegal settlements of Shaked and Tal Menashe set up a barbed wire fence on a tract of land belonging to local residents.
Khatib said the landowners had obtained a verdict from the Israeli high court of justice prohibiting the settlers living in the area from taking any illegal steps on the land until a final decision was made in this regard.
He affirmed that the local residents are exposed to daily assaults and provocative acts by Jewish settlers in an attempt to force them to leave their areas.
