Violent clashes after Israeli army bulldozes Huwara lands

Monday 6-July-2020

Violent clashes broke out on Monday morning between Palestinian citizens and Israeli soldiers after the Israeli occupation army resumed its bulldozing activities in southern Nablus to build a road for Jewish settlers.

According to local sources the Israeli army embarked again on bulldozing vast tracts of Palestinian land about 406 dunums in Huwara town in order to build a seven-kilometer bypass for settlers.

Local official Ghassan Daghlas said that the Israeli occupation forces bulldozed and destroyed olive groves and agricultural lands belonging to Palestinian citizens near the Huwara military base which provoked clashes with the locals.

Daghlas pointed out that this road had been approved by the Israeli government in 2014 as part of a project to build several roads for settlers in the West Bank.
