Israeli occupation forces invaded, on Sunday, the Atouf Plain east of the town of Tammun in the Tubas district in the northeastern West Bank, deploying several military vehicles as large‑scale bulldozing operations of fertile lands continued across the area.
Media sources reported that multiple Israeli military bulldozers and vehicles invaded the rich agricultural plain east of Tammun, where the army has been carrying out extensive destruction of farmland and irrigation networks as part of an Israeli military road project.
The planned road is designed to link the illegal military roadblocks of Ein Shibli and Tayasir, with an estimated length of approximately 22 kilometers.
The army began bulldozing the area several months ago, destroying large tracts of agricultural land, irrigation networks, and water‑delivery lines, and causing significant damage to crops.
These actions followed military notices to seize more than 1,000 dunams of Palestinian‑owned land in Tammun, Atouf, the city of Tubas, and surrounding areas, all to facilitate the construction of the military road.
The ongoing bulldozing is part of a broader Israeli plan to impose full control over the eastern slopes of the northern Jordan Valley, further restricting Palestinian access to agricultural land and tightening movement between the Tubas and Nablus districts.
