Israeli occupation bulldozers razed, Wednesday morning, a large area of Palestinian farm land in the Um Neir area of eastern Yatta, in southern Hebron city.
Susiya Mayor, Jihad Nawajaa, told Ma’an News Agency that several bulldozers, escorted by Israeli military vehicles, leveled private Palestinian land in the village, taking out several fruiting trees near Susia settlement.
Israeli forces blocked off the area and declared it a closed military zone, preventing farmers from accessing their lands.
This action coincided with the arrival of the British consulate delegation which is due to visit the Susia area to look into the living conditions of Palestinians residing there, and the Israeli violations against them.
