SALFIT, Wednesday, July 12, 2023 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation forces today leveled land and uprooted olive trees in the town of Kufl Haris, north of the northern West Bank city of Salfit, in order to serve illegal area settlements, according to the town’s mayor, Usama Saleh.

He told WAFA that the forces bulldozed lands in the southern parts of the town in order to allow the Israeli Mekerot water company to extend water pipes for the benefit of the two illegal industrial settlements of Burkan and Arial.

He said the land in question is 50 dunums in area.
