RAMALLAH, April 28, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation authorities delivered notices to remove a fence and uproot olive trees in the Wadi Qana area of the town of Deir Istiya, northwest of Salfit.
Anti-settlement activist Nazmi Salman said that the occupation authorities delivered notices to evacuate and stop work, remove a 100-meter fence, and uproot 12 olive trees in the Wadi Qana area west of the town, under the pretext that it is a nature reserve.
He pointed out that the Wadi Qana area is targeted by the occupation and colonists, who are allowed to establish and expand colonies at the expense of citizens' land, while the landowners are prevented from working there.
He further noted that the Wadi Qana area, which covers an area of more than 10,000 dunams, was designated a nature reserve by the occupation in 1983. It is surrounded by nine illegal outposts and an Israeli army camp.
In a related context, the Israeli occupation forces issued a demolition notice against a car wash in the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem, on the pretext that it was without a license.
