Jewish settlers on Wednesday seized and bulldozed 10 dunums of agricultural land in Jab’a village west of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Local sources said that the settlers flattened the land and destroyed its trees which belongs to a Palestinian citizen called Khaled Masha’ila.
They expressed their belief that the settlers would use the land as a road to connect the settlements of Gush Etzion with the military roadblock which separates the village from the 1948 occupied territories.
They warned that the settlers might appropriate more Palestinian lands in the village for their own use.
