Israeli forces bulldoze land to expand illegal settlements, Wafa reports

Israeli forces on Monday bulldozed land in the Palestinian village of al-Lubban Asharqiya, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, Wafa news agency reported. 

The bulldozing took place to "expand the perimeter of nearby illegal settlements", the report said.

They have also begun constructing a road for Israeli settlers in the area, which Palestinians will be prevented from using, Wafa says, quoting local sources.

According to the Ramallah-based Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Israeli forces and settlers have carried out more than 38,000 attacks on Palestinians and their land or property in the occupied West Bank since October 2023.
