BETHLEHEM, September 2, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Sunday confiscated a bulldozer working on the rehabilitation of an internal road in the town of Nahalin to the West of the southern West bank district of Bethlehem, said a local official.

Mayor of Nahhalin Hany Fonoun, said israeli forces confiscated a bulldozer belonging to Palestinian contractors while they working on rehabilitating an internal road inside the town, under the pretext that the targeted location is “State Land.”

The mayor maintained that the Israeli occupation aims through such measures to restrict Urban growth for the benefit of the nearby Israeli settlement of Bitar Elit, built illegally on land belonging to Palestinians in the area.

To be noted, Israeli forces almost a week ago confiscated another bulldozer while working on the same project.
