SALFIT (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Extremist Jewish settlers bulldozed on Friday dozens of Palestinian agricultural land in Wadi al-Matwi area in the west of Salfit City in the Occupied West Bank.
According to local sources, settlers protected by Israeli forces bulldozed vast tracts of land in Wadi al-Matwi area, which is located between Salfit City and Bruqin town, laying the groundwork for the construction of a new settler-only road.
The sources added that the settlers uprooted about 40 perennial olive trees and leveled vast swaths of land belonging to three Palestinian citizens.
Considered one of the vital areas that connect Salfit with the western cluster of villages, al-Matwi area has been a target of frequent attacks and violations by Jewish settlers from the illegal outpost of al-Ras.
In another incident, dozens of settlers stormed al-Auja spring, north of Jericho, and held a noisy and provocative celebration, while preventing local citizens from accessing the area and harassing them.
