RAMALLAH, July 21, 2018 (WAFA) – Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah inaugurated on Saturday a regional street connecting the Bedouin community of Tana -- a frequent target of the Israeli home demolition policy -- with nearby Beit Furik town, to the east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

Hamdallah said the opening of the road aims to reinforce the steadfastness of the local Bedouin population of the village, which is located in an area of almost daily Israeli military training activities.

The Israeli military has frequently demolished residencies, mainly shacks, in the village under the pretext of construction without permission.

The Palestinian government is trying to help the local residents to remain steadfast on their land in what is known as Area C of the occupied West Bank, which Israel seeks to seize after pushing its original Palestinian inhabitants out of it in order to build Jewish settlements in their locations.
