Bethlehem: Colonists plowed Palestinian-owned land in the village of al-Minya, southeast of Bethlehem, on Tuesday. Security sources told WAFA that a number of colonists began plowing land in the village's landfill area using a tractor.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, colonists, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, have escalated their repeated attacks on Palestinian property in al-Minya, aiming to displace residents and seize their land for colonial expansion.
The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that Israeli occupation authorities seized a total of 244,816 dunams of Palestinian land last October through thirteen military orders. These orders, issued for military purposes, aimed to create buffer zones around settlements in several West Bank governorates. Some of these orders designated areas as state land.
