Ahmad Salah, Coordinator of the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in the Al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem, has reported that a number of settlers started the construction of two units near Boaz illegal settlement.Salah added that the settlers placed the corner stones for the new constructions on lands that belong to resident Khader Issa, in Khirbit Abu Ghlaion area.
He said that the two units are being built in direct violation of a ruling by an Israeli court preventing the settlers from building in the area.
Salah further stated that the area in question has been subject to frequent Israeli attacks, as the settlers illegally confiscated local Palestinian lands and repeatedly prevented the residents from entering their lands.
