Israel seizes large area of land near Bethlehem

BETHLEHEM, July 17, 2017 (WAFA) – Israel seized at least 70 dunums (70,000 square meters) of Palestinian land in the village of Jab’a, northwest of the city of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, a local source said on Monday.

Hasan Brijiyeh, a local anti-settlement, anti-wall activist, told WAFA that the Israeli authorities announced that it has seized 70 dunums of land in the area of Wadi al-Goul in the village.

He said that based on notices the Israeli military left on the land, which belong to Masha’le family, the property was seized for “military purposes.”
