Occupation forces raze Palestinian land in Nablus-governorate village

NABLUS: Israeli occupation forces Wednesday evening razed Palestinian land on the main road in the Burqa village, northwest of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to local sources. They said that the occupation troops used bulldozers to raze the land located on the roadside of Wadi al-Balad neighborhood in the village, destroying infrastructure. The soldiers sealed off the road linking the village to the nearby town of Sebastia. Israel severely restricts Palestinians' freedom of movement through a complex combination of approximately 100 fixed checkpoints, flying checkpoints, settler-only roads and various other physical obstructions. Closures besides other measures, taken under the guise of security, are intended to entrench Israel's 57-year-old military occupation of the West Bank and its settler colonial project which it enforces with routine and frequently deadly violence against Palestinians.
