Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told WAFA that Jewish settlers’ bulldozers were seen this morning leveling large tracts of land that belong to Jalud villagers to expand the nearby illegal Israeli colonial settlement of Shvut Rachel.
Daghlas added that the land leveling was carried out a day after Israeli forces and settlers prevented the villagers from reclaiming their land and constructing an agricultural road.
