HEBRON, April 2, 2012 (WAFA) –Jewish settlers from Karmi Tzur Monday razed Palestinian agricultural land near Beit Ummar, a town north of Hebron, to build a new road, according to a local activist.

Yousef Abu Maria, a member of the National Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Beit Ummar, told WAFA that the settlement security staff razed large areas of agricultural land and uprooted dozens of grape and peach trees to open a passage for the use of Israeli army and settlers.

The new road will block access of area farmers to their land.
