Today, Saturday, the Israeli occupation forces bulldozed more than 100 dunams, and uprooted about 150 olive trees, in the villages of Imatin, Farata and Jit, east of Qalqilya.


The head of the Imatin Village Council, Fathi Ghanem, said that the occupation forces bulldozed these dunams located in the eastern region of the villages, in order to expand the “Havat Gilad” colony, which is located on the village’s lands, and uprooted more than 150 olive trees, more than 50 years old.


Ghanem added that these dunams and olive trees belong to the Sawan family, who are: Ziad Abdel Hafeez Sawan, Ahmed Sadiq Sawan, Jamal Sawan, Saed Sawan, and Ibrahim Sawan.
