Ramallah – Ma’an – For the thirteenth consecutive day, settlers continued to bulldoze lands in the villages of Umm Safa and Aroura, northwest of the city of Ramallah.
The head of the village council in Umm Safa, Marwan Sabah, said that settlers, under the protection of the occupation army, began to bulldoze about 500 dunams of the lands of the two villages, and cut off the road connecting the village to the village of Deir Sudan, and prevented citizens from passing.
He added that the occupation, through the bulldozing operations it is carrying out, has completely separated the village from its Arab surroundings, and its 720 residents have become completely imprisoned, surrounded by settlements and bypass roads from all directions.
Sabah said that the residents have been subjected to continuous gunfire from the settlers during the past few days if they try to object to the bulldozing operations targeting Jabal al-Ras in the village, calling on all international and human rights institutions to intervene in
order to put an end to the ongoing aggression of the settlers aimed at displacing them from it.
