Israel seizes 18 donums of land near Ramallah

RAMALLAH: The Wall and Settlement Affairs Authority said on Thursday that the Israeli occupation authorities issued a decision to seize 18 dunums of land in the village of Deir Dibwan, east of the city of Ramallah.

The authority stated in a statement issued today that the occupation issued a decision to seize the lands under the pretext of ‘urgent military purposes,’ by forming a buffer zone around the Mitzpe Danny colony, which was established on citizens’ lands.

It pointed out that the Israeli seizure of citizens’ lands expresses the actual implementation of the idea of buffer zones proposed by hard-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich at the beginning of the aggression on October 7th.

With this decision, there are three successive orders in the same manner (buffer zones around the colonies that prevent citizens from accessing vast areas, in Derastia near the ‘Rafava’ colony, and the western farm around the colonial outpost ‘Harasha’).
