The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday grabbed hold of 1,000 dunums of Palestinian land tracts in in al-Khalil’s towns of Beit Ummar and Beit Fajjar.
Local sources said Israeli army troops and settler hordes residing in the illegal settlement of Migdal Oz, to the north of al-Khalil city, cordoned off the targeted land lots with a 2,600-meter-long fence as part of intents to expand a nearby military academy.
The local farmers and landowners rallied in the area in protest at such arbitrary misappropriation but they reportedly failed to protect their land tracts as the IOF soldiers, who suddenly showed up in the area, barred them from reaching their blockaded terrains.
