BETHLEHEM, Saturday, August 24, 2024 (WAFA) — Israeli colonists set up tents this afternoon on Palestinian lands in the village of Al-Maniya, located southeast of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, according to local sources.

Zaid Kawazbeh, the head of the Al-Maniya Village Council, reported that the colonists set up three tents to the east of the village, with the intention of seizing the land for their colonial ambitions.

Recently, Israeli colonists have intensified their attacks on farmers in Al-Maniya, including seizing wheat, barley, and lentil crops, as well as agricultural equipment.

The installation of mobile homes by the colonists is part of a broader pattern of encroachment and land appropriation by Israeli authorities and colonists in the area.
