Army uproots lands to build 'settlement' units in
Salfit<http://www.imemc.org/article/66051>
IMEMC 1 Sept — Local sources in Salfit district, in the central part of the
West Bank, have reported that Israeli bulldozers uprooted Palestinian lands
west of Salfit, in preparation for building new units in Leshim illegal settlement. The lands are located between Deir Ballout and Kufr Ad-Deek towns. Leshim was built last year on privately owned Palestinian lands.
Israeli Housing Minister, Uri Ariel, placed the corner stone of the illegal
settlement. The Salfit district is one of the most impacted districts due
to Israel’s illegal settlement activities as it contains 23 Israeli
settlements swallowing more than half of Salfit’s farmlands. It is worth
mentioning that there are 18 Palestinian towns and villages in the Salfit
District.
