The Israeli occupation forces are attempting to disperse and suppress demonstrators against the bulldozing of land in Al-Naqab through using wastewater, tear gas, and rubber bullets,” our correspondent added.
The occupation’s aircraft is flying at a low altitude over the area where the demonstrations are held with thousands of Palestinians still on the streets,” she reported.
Protests in Al-Naqab were renewed on the evening of Wednesday after Israeli bulldozers started destroying infrastructure earlier in the day. Israeli machines bulldozed lands belonging to the Al-Atrash family, near the village of Sa’wah in Al-Naqab.
The destruction took place under the massive protection of Israeli occupation forces. The atmosphere was tense as attacks and prolonged campaigns of arrests swept the region: 46 people were arrested in two days.
Protestors used burning tires to block major intersections on the outskirts of Tel Al-Sabaa Shaqib Al-Salam, and Rahat, demanding the release of the detainees and the cessation of bulldozing operations targeting Al-Naqab area, east Tel Al-Sabaa.
The Israeli occupation’s machinery had broken into Saawa village and bulldozed part of its lands in preparation for a takeover after Palestinians confronted them.
Israeli occupation official in charge of the settlement process in Al-Naqab had announced the “cessation of afforestation” in the region.
