SALFIT, September 14, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces on Sunday delivered a military notice to seize approximately 3.5 dunums of land in the town of Kafr ad-Dik, in the central West Bank province of Salfit, for the construction of a separation fence, according to local officials.

Mahmoud ad-Dik, spokesperson for the Kafr ad-Dik municipality, said the planned fence will run alongside residential homes.

The targeted land is privately owned by local residents and has previously been subjected to bulldozing and olive tree uprooting by Israeli forces in an apparent attempt to prepare the area for future confiscation and settlement expansion.

In addition to the seizure notice, Israeli authorities also issued a warning to remove and uproot trees from an additional 10 dunums of land in the same area.

Local residents view the move as part of a broader policy aimed at expanding settlements at the expense of Palestinian agricultural land and livelihoods.
