IOA bulldozes Beit Ummar land to establish 50 new housing units

The Israeli occupation authority is accelerating the bulldozing of Palestinian land in Beit Ummar village, Al-Khalil district, in preparation for building 50 new housing units.

Mohammed Awad, heading a Palestinian solidarity committee in the village, said on Tuesday that the units and the land would be annexed to the settlement of Karmi Tzur.

He underlined that the bulldozing started a few weeks ago and accelerated recently, noting that the bulldozed Palestinian land contained vineyards and other fruitful trees.
