SALFIT, Wednesday, September 27, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation bulldozers Wednesday continued to bulldoze dozens of donums of Palestinian-owned lands in the town of Bruqin, west of the West Bank city of Salfit.

The Governor of Salfit, Abdullah Kamil, said that the bulldozing comes within the framework of the accelerating occupation annexation and expansion projects to undermine the Palestinian hope of establishing an independent state and liberation from the occupation.

Director of the Bruqin Municipality, Amin Sabra, said that the occupation bulldozers continue to bulldoze approximately 50 donums of Palestinian lands, to expand the illegal Israeli settlement of Brukhin, and to build new settlement units.

Sabra pointed out that the occupation has been working to bulldoze the lands adjacent to the settlement for some time, and aims to annex it to the settlement and expand it, noting that these lands belong to the Palestinians from the town of Burqin.

Sabra explained that the area of the town of Bruqin is approximately 13,000 dunums, and that the structural plan is 1,480 dunums, noting that the remainder of the area is classified as Area C in which work and construction are prohibited, including lands that were seized for the benefit of the settlements established on their lands.
