SALFIT, November 13, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli forces on Sunday confiscated an 18-dunum plot of land near Salfit town, in central West Bank, according to local sources.
Jamal al-Ahmad, a local anti-settlement activist, said by declaring the said plot a state land, Israel will have taken over 138 dunums of land in the area for the benefit of expanding the industrial zone of nearby Ariel settlement.
He said Israel has allocated this confiscated land to Israeli investors to open their own business there, under the pretext of being a state property.
