In a step to expand an illegal settlement, Israeli bulldozers level a large plot of Palestinian land in Bethlehem area

In a step seen as intended to expand an illegal settlement, Israeli bulldozers today leveled Palestinian-owned land in the village of Kisan, east of the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to a local activist.

Ahmad Ghazal, an activist, told WAFA that the bulldozers leveled about 30 dunums of land in order to expand a nearby settlement.

He said this is not the first time village land and residents have come under attack from settlers or soldiers in an effort to keep them off their lands.
