Israeli occupation continues to bulldoze lands east of Qalqilya to build a barbed wire wall

Today, Monday, the Israeli occupation forces continued to bulldoze large areas of citizens' lands in the northern area of the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, as part of its steps aimed at erecting a barbed wire wall extending to the intersection of the "Ma'ale Shomron" settlement, which is built on the town's lands.


Local sources reported that today, the occupation forces bulldozed approximately five dunams near the main entrance to the town of Azzun, along the Qalqilya-Nablus road, known as “55 Street.”


The sources stated that the bulldozing operations come within the framework of an Israeli decision issued two months ago to seize about 15 dunams of land for military purposes, and the occupation forces have begun implementing the decision on the ground.


This wall is part of the occupation’s plan for further settlement expansion in the area, threatening to transform agricultural lands and private property into isolated areas or areas subject to military measures, increasing the suffering of citizens, restricting their movement, and limiting their access to their lands and sources of livelihood.
