RAMALLAH, July 6, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces and colonists bulldozed large areas of Palestinian land in the village of Umm Safa, northwest of Ramallah, on Sunday, according to local officials.
Marwan Sabbah, head of the Umm Safa Village Council, told WAFA that colonist-operated bulldozers leveled approximately 40 dunums of land in the Jabal al-Ras area, located east of the village.
Sabbah added that Israeli colonists have already seized hundreds of dunums in the southern part of the village, aiming to convert the area into a colonial grazing outpost.
He warned of a broader plan to forcibly displace the village’s residents and establish a large colonial settlement bloc on privately owned Palestinian land and homes, potentially linking it to two adjacent colonies.
