 Illegal Israeli Zionist Settlers Build Rooms in Palestinian Village of Dair Hattab

 [ 23/09/2010 - 11:20 AM ]

NABLUS, (PIC)--

Zionist settlers added three prefabricated cement rooms to a number of "caravans" they had previously installed on the Jabal Hazem area of Dair Hattab village, east of Nablus city, on Wednesday.

Abed Hussein, the chairman of the village's municipal council, said in a press release that settlers were planning to establish a new settlement outpost in the area then confiscate surrounding lands.

He noted that the new aggression coincides with the beginning of the olive harvesting season in a bid to prevent farmers from reaching their olive fields.

Hussein recalled that the Israeli army had confiscated more than 500 dunums of the village lands in the past years and the settles have exploited them to plant wheat and barley while blocking their owners from reaching them.
