Israel to seize land near Jenin to expand wall

Israeli authorities today notified a Palestinian from the village of Al-Jalama, northeast of the occupied West Bank city Jenin, of their intention to seize his land in favor of expanding the apartheid wall, according to local sources. Mohamoud Abu Farha, the owner of the land, told WAFA that the Israeli forces notified him of their intentions to take over his land, to which he has documents that approve his ownership of the land, in favor of establishing a new extension of the annexation wall. The authorities ordered Abu Farha to not place any vehicles within 10 meters of the land under the pretext of that it was declared a closed military zone. Citizens expressed fear that such step aims to expand the wall which will lead to preventing them from entering their lands, said Amjad Abu Farha, head of the village council.
