OCCUPIED PALESTINE, March 18 (YPA) – Israeli occupation forces on Monday razed 15 dunums of privately owned Palestinian land and uprooted dozens of olive trees in the village of Husan, west of Bethlehem, Palestinian media outlets reported.

According to media sources, the occupation forces confiscated 15 dunums of land and uprooted 150 mature olive trees near the western entrance of Husan village belonging to Palestinian citizens.

“The aim of bulldozing the land is to expand the settler-only bypass Road No. 60 from the west,” the sources added.
