HEBRON, December 15, 2024 (WAFA) – Colonists Sunday seized around 60 dunums of land belonging to Palestinian residents in the southern part of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
Ibrahim al-Tal, a local resident, reported that colonists took control of around 60 dunums of land owned by his three sons. The land is located in the al-Tayaran area near an illegal colony built on Palestinian land in the town of Ad-Dhahiriya, south of Hebron.
Additionally, Israeli soldiers forced farmers out of their land in the southern Hebron area and prevented them from cultivating the land.
Naif al-Basaita, another resident, said that the soldiers forced the farmers out of their lands and prevented them from plowing and planting the land, under the pretext the land was "state property."
He added that access to the land is only permitted with special Israeli-issued permits. The land, estimated at 250 dunums, belongs to several families in the area.
The al-Tasyran area has been facing a systematic and unprecedented campaign, allowing colonists to seize Palestinian land for colonial expansion, including the creation of new outposts and the expansion of the nearby colony.
