Expansion of settlement south of Bethlehem


[ 06/08/2012 – 09:22 AM ]


BETHLEHEM, (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces (IOF) expanded the boundaries of Nevi Daniel settlement built on land of El-Khader village, south of Bethlehem, where they confiscated new Palestinian land and blocked access before its owners.

The coordinator of the Counter-Segregation Wall Committee, Ahmed Salah, said that a military barricade erected on Daniel’s settlement has been moved 400 meters deep into Palestinian lands while a security control room was built on the new entrance.

At least 300 acres of Palestinian lands have been annexed as a result of this procedure which means that Palestinian landlords cannot have access to their land unless they obtain Israeli entry permits, he explained.

He added that these procedures come as part of occupation plans aimed at the construction of a large tourism project in the district including construction of hotels and parks.
