Israeli forces detain three farmers, seize agricultural tractor in Masafer Yatta

Israeli occupation forces today detained three Palestinian farmers and seized their agricultural tractor while they were working on blowing their land in the Masafer Yatta area to the south of Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, today said Fouad al-Amour, a local activist.

He told WAFA that Israeli forces detained three Palestinians and seized their agricultural tractor while they working on their land in al-Rakeez area in Masafer Yatta.

Masafer Yatta is a collection of almost 19 hamlets that rely heavily on animal husbandry as the main source of livelihood.

Located in Area C of the West Bank under full Israeli administrative and military control, the area has been subjected to repeated Israeli violations by settlers and soldiers in an effort to force the Palestinians to leave it.
