Jalloud Council Told to Remove Power Lines

RAMALLAH, May 7, 2011 (WAFA) – The Israeli authorities informed Jalloud local council to remove a power line that supplies seven houses south of Jalloud, southwest of Nablus, with electricity.

Abdullah Mohammad, head of Jalloud local council, told WAFA on Saturday that Israeli civil administration officials handed him a notice issued by the higher planning council to demolish one kilometer of electricity line that supplies a number of houses in the village.

The Israelis told him he can object to this decision to the civil administration headquarters in Beit El, near Ramallah.

This step is part of Israeli measures and policy against village residents, he said.

Israeli forces and settlers prohibit Palestinians from entering that area. Last month, soldiers opened fire at a Palestinian who entered the seized land, he added.

Mohammad said that the measures against the village started in 1975 when Israel settlers established a military base on village land then established the settlements of Shilo and Shavut Rachel.
