[ 04/05/2011 - 12:41 PM ] Al-KHALIL, (PIC)-- The land research center said the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) notified six Palestinian farmers of their intents to confiscate dozens of dunums of their agricultural lands in Al-Fawwar refugee camp and Dura village for military purposes.
One of the farmers told the center that a large number of troops along with Israel civil servants stormed Al-Qurei Mount area and Abdulfattah territory and embarked on placing evacuation notifications inside the lands to be seized.
In a separate incident, the IOF on Tuesday evening closed Hawara checkpoint and many villages surrounding Nablus city at the pretext there was a massive march organized by Jewish settlers on the main street of Hawara village which connects the northern settlements with the ones in the south of the West Bank.
Eyewitness told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that the Israeli troops established checkpoints at the entrances to the villages of Beta, Awarta, Einbos and Odela and barred Palestinian citizens from crossing back and forth.
They affirmed that they did not know the reasons behind this march, but they expressed fear that the settlers would use the rally to attack the Palestinian villagers under military protection.
