HEBRON, April 3, 2012 (WAFA) – Israeli army forces Tuesday razed agricultural land in Khirbet Um Nir, a local east of Yatta in southern Hebron and demolished two water wells, according to a local activist.
Rateb Jabour, from the local Popular Committee against the Settlements, told WAFA that an Israeli military unit accompanied with an officer from the Israeli civic administration razed around 50 dunums of Palestinian-owned agriculture land planted with olive and almond trees.
The Israeli forces also demolished retaining walls and two water wells in the land, added Jabour.
The area around the town of Yatta has been repeatedly targeted with demolitions of residences and tents, as well as razing agricultural land to deport the area residents for settlements expansion.
