BETHLEHEM, Wednesday, December 20, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces Wednesday seized a Palestinian-owned land to build a settler-only road in the town of Tuqu', southeast of Bethlehem.

The director of the Office of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission in Bethlehem, Hassan Barijiyah, told WAFA that the occupation forces seized five dunams in the areas of (5) Al-Muruj, (4) Ka’ibana, Umm Al-Nufus, Wa’ar Kharitoun, Muharib, and Al-Uqban, under the two military decisions in order to build a settler-only road, linking the Izdbar and Nokdim settlements, which are located on Palestinian citizens’ lands.

Brejiya pointed out that this colonial measure would pose a great danger in terms of seizing hundreds of dunams and preventing the land owners from accessing them.
