Israeli soldiers annexed, on Tuesday, additional 15 Dunams of farmland, which belong to residents of the village of Azmout , near the West Bank city of Nablus .

 

Ashraf Hawamda, one of farmers who lost lands for settlement constructions, said that these orchards are the only source of livelihood for most of the farmers.

 

The annexed orchards will be used to construct a road for the near by settlement of Yalon, which was constructed on lands which belong to residents of Azmout, Salem and Dier Al Hatab.

 

The residents of these villages face repeated harassments and attacks by the settlers; recently settlers released wild pigs in the orchards damaging the trees and causing panic among the villagers.
