Israeli Bulldozers raze agricultural land in Walaja

Israeli bulldozers Monday razed agricultural land in Walaja, a village southwest of Bethlehem, said local sources. Saleh Khalifa, head of the village council, said a large unit of Israeli soldiers accompanied bulldozers which broke into the village at dawn and closed the area under restricted security measures. The bulldozers destroyed around 100 olive, fig and almond trees and razed large areas of land to continue building the Apartheid Wall, Khalifa added. He warned from the Israeli razing policy, ongoing for more than a month, to deport the Palestinian residents and take over land for expansion of settlements.
