NABLUS, Thursday, November 19, 2020 (WAFA) – Protected by the army, Israeli settlers today infringed on privately-owned Palestinian land in Urif village in the north of the West Bank and worked on the land without the permission of its owners, according to a local official.

Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian Authority’s official in charge of monitoring Israeli settlement and settler activities in the Nablus area, said settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar trespassed on Palestinian land in the eastern part of Urif village and plowed the land in order to plant it.

He said the Israeli army gave cover to the settlers as they infringed and plowed the land, which often leads to taking it over.

The Israeli government and army allow the illegal settlers free reign in the occupied territories.
