Israeli bulldozers yesterday razed a four-dunam Palestinian farm in the city of Beit Jala, west of Bethlehem, and uprooted scores of olive trees, Arab48 reported.
At the same time, the Israeli occupation authorities announced a stop-work order regarding the construction of a street in the north of Jordan Valley.
Owner of the Palestinian farm Waleed Zrina said that the Israeli occupation declared the area a closed military zone, preventing people from approaching it and arresting his brother Ayman.
Regarding the stop work order, a Palestinian activist in the governorate of Tubas said that the Israeli occupation forces asked them to stop working in the street for 24 hours, claiming that the land in the area includes antiquities.
