NABLUS, Monday, June 26, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation bulldozers Monday evening leveled large tracts of Palestinian land belonging to the villagers of Qaryout, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to a local activist.
Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors Israeli settlements in the northern West Bank, said that seven Israeli military machinery razed large tracts of the villagers land to make room for the expansion of the nearby encroaching colonial settlements of Eli and Shilo.
Israel uses the Jewish nationalist name “Judea and Samaria” to refer to the occupied West Bank to reinforce its bogus claims to the territory and to give them a veneer of historical and religious legitimacy.
There are almost over 800,000 Israeli settlers living in colonial settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Israel’s nation-state law that passed last July stated that building and strengthening the settlements is a “national interest.”
