Israeli occupation authorities yesterday, issued a confiscation order against 8,242 dunums (2,036 acres) of Az-Zawiya village’s lands in the Salfit district of the West Bank for alleged military purposes, Alghad TV reported.
The land is located in the west part of the village where illegal Israeli settlements are built on Palestinian land, including outposts that are not unauthorised by the Israeli authorities.
The military order gave land owners seven days to appeal through the so-called Israeli Civil Administration.
Last July, Israeli authorities issued a confiscation order against at least 140 dunums (34 acres) of land from Az-Zawiya declaring it “state land” for the purpose of building a Jewish cemetery that serves the illegal Israeli settlements in the area.
