Uprooting 150 seedlings and bulldozing 20 dunums of Haris land

Salfit – Ma’an – Israeli bulldozers uprooted about 150 olive trees on Thursday and razed agricultural lands owned by the heirs of the late Muhammad Abdul Rahim Daoud from the village of Haris, west of Salfit.

Citizen Mahmoud Daoud, one of the heirs, reported that this morning, the occupation bulldozers uprooted 150 olive trees, aged between 6-8 years, and bulldozed approximately 20 dunums in an area known as ‘Khalat Hadida’ on the western side of the village, in order to expand the industrial settlement of Burkan, which is built on citizens’ lands.

Dawoud pointed out that the land, which is estimated to be 35 dunams in area, was subjected to bulldozing work some time ago to extend sewage lines for the benefit of the settlements.
