Mukhmas: Israeli colonists bulldozed on Sunday privately-owned Palestinian lands near the village of Mukhmas northeast of occupied Jerusalem, according to local sources and eyewitnesses.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, a group of colonists began bulldozing the lands early this morning, targeting lands close to the village of Mukhmas. This act has raised concerns among the local Palestinian community, who have been witnessing increased activities by colonists in the area.
The "Sde Yonatan" outpost, built illegally by colonists on land belonging to the village of Mukhmas and situated next to the illegal "Ma'ale Mikhmas" colony, has become a base for ongoing attacks targeting Palestinian properties and farmland in the area. The unauthorized construction and subsequent actions by colonists have been a consistent source of tension and conflict between the settlers and the Palestinian residents.
Local authorities and residents have expressed their frustration and called for international intervention to address the situation and protect Palestinian lands from further encroachment. The incident adds to a series of similar events, highlighting the ongoing disputes over land ownership and usage rights in the region.
