Israel to take over land south of Bethlehem to establish metal gates

Israeli occupation forces issued today a military order to take over land in the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, according to the head of the anti-Settlement and Apartheid Wall commission in Bethlehem, Hassan Brijiyeh.

The decision ordered the seizure of a swath of agricultural land for the establishment of metal gates that lead to the settlement outpost of ‘Sidi Boaz’, built illegally on Palestinian-owned land.

He warned against this decision which would restrict Palestinian farmers’ access to their land and force them to obtain special permits to allow their entry.
