Israeli forces raze Palestinian land, uproot olive trees near Bethlehem

BETHEHEM: Israeli occupation forces today razed 15-dunums of privately-owned Palestinian land and uprooted dozens of olive trees in the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem, according to a local activist. Rami Hamamra, head of the Husan village council, said that Israeli military forces razed about 15-dunums of privately-owned Palestinian land and uprooted nearly 150 olive trees belonging to the villagers. "The aim of bulldozing the land is to expand the settler-only bypass Road No. 60 from the west," Hamamra added. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
