WEST BANK, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has issued four military orders to seize vast tracts of Palestinian land in the northern West Bank.
The orders target around 165 dunums of land in Qalqilya, Nablus, Tubas and the northern Jordan Valley, according to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission on Tuesday.
According to these orders, the IOA plans to annex additional swaths of Palestinian land and extend the boundaries of areas targeted by previous seizure orders.
It linked the measures to efforts to create buffer zones around illegal settler outposts, expand roads serving settlements and reinforce military positions.
The Commission warned that these land seizures would restrict Palestinian citizens’ access to surrounding areas, including agricultural lands belonging to them.
