The Occupation Begins to Pave a Settler Road East of Tuqu South of Bethlehem

Israeli occupation bulldozers began, on Monday morning, to pave a settler road on Palestinian land east of the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem.

The Bider human rights organization explained that the land leveling works are part of the increased seizure of large areas of land under security pretexts, leading to the loss of thousands of dunams of agricultural land.

The organization affirmed that these actions negatively affect the agricultural and living conditions of the residents and increase the restrictions imposed on land use in the area.
