FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Sunday, Israeli troops clashed with residents and activists who had set up the makeshift tents in the occupied West Bank to prevent the Tel Aviv regime from building new settler units.
Activists established the encampment on Friday to protest against Israel’s plan to seize 124 acres (50 hectares) of land near the Palestinian village of Beit Iksa, located on the northwestern outskirts of al-Quds.
Saeed Yaqin, one of the organizers of the protest, stated that “the first thing we did was to tear up the order and throw it in the (Israeli) soldiers’ faces. We and all the Palestinian people object and reject the (Israeli) military order.”
“This is the first time since 1967 somebody’s torn up a military order,” he said.
“The land here is under occupation, and international law prohibits touching it,” Yaqin added.
On January 17, Israeli police dismantled an encampment that was set up by Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on January 11 in protest against the Tel Aviv regime’s plans to construct a large settlement at E1 area near al-Quds.
The E1 project aims at connecting the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim to East al-Quds, about six kilometers away. The plan will cut off the northern part of the West Bank from the south.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds.
Israel’s annexation of East al-Quds is in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242 and has never been recognized by the international community.
