Settlers plow recently confiscated land near Salfit

SALFIT (Ma'an) --

Israeli settlers on Sunday plowed land and performed religious rituals on lands recently confiscated from the nearby Palestinian villages of Deir Istiya and Haris in the northern West Bank.

Witnesses said that bulldozers from the Revava settlement northwest of Salfit plowed the lands in order to expand the settlement.

Settlers also entered the lands around Haris village and performed religious rituals on lands that were confiscated from Palestinian villagers by the army on Saturday.

On Saturday, Israeli forces notified the village council that they would confiscate 100 dunams (25 acres) of the village's private land.
