Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers began, on Monday, extensive bulldozing, and road‑cutting operations on privately owned Palestinian lands in the town of Aboud, west of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank’s central part, as part of the ongoing expansion of colonial infrastructure in the area.
Colonizer‑operated bulldozers carried out more than one kilometer of earth‑removal inside agricultural plots belonging to residents of the town, in preparation for a new colonial road intended to link several illegal outposts and colonial sites established on Palestinian lands.
The bulldozing targeted productive agricultural areas, threatening the destruction and seizure of additional farmland and further restricting residents’ access to their property and their ability to cultivate it.
Aboud has been subjected to repeated attacks by illegal colonizers and systematic measures by the Israeli occupation aimed at expanding colonial control.
These measures include carving new settler‑only roads, bulldozing agricultural lands, and seizing wide tracts of Palestinian territory for colonial projects.
In related news, Israeli bulldozers began extensive land‑clearing and leveling operations around Qalandia Refugee Camp and the nearby town of Kafr ‘Aqab, north of occupied Jerusalem, as part of preparations for a new colonial road serving the illegal Israeli colonies built on Palestinian lands in the area.
This latest assaults come amid a marked escalation in colonial activity across the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces and colonizers continue imposing new facts on the ground by expanding existing colonies and establishing new outposts—actions that constitute a clear violation of international law and UN resolutions, which affirm that all Israeli colonial settlements in occupied Palestinian territory are illegal.
