OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) seized 54.79 dunums of Palestinian citizens’ lands in the towns of Qatanna and Biddu, northwest of occupied Jerusalem.
The Commission explained, in a statement on Thursday, that the lands confiscated were classified as “state lands”, adding that the confiscation aims to expand the “Har Adar” settlement built on Palestinian citizens’ lands in the towns of Qatanna and Biddu.
The seized lands are located behind the racist separation wall built on the lands of the two towns, through which the IOF have prevented Palestinians from reaching their lands in these areas for more than 20 years in preparation for seizing them for settlement expansion.
The Commission pointed out that 2024 witnessed the most severe and dangerous Israeli violations including military evacuation and demolition orders in favor of land confiscation and settlement expansion.
