The Israeli infrastructure projects of 24 settlements, illegally built on Palestinian-owned lands in Salfit, drain more agricultural lands of the city.
Eyewitnesses affirmed that Israeli bulldozers were seen leveling lands north of Saoukan town west of the city in favor of extending sewer lines of the settlements.
The local activist Khaled Maali said that Israeli infrastructure projects are an additional tool used to confiscate lands and uproot olive trees in the province.
These infrastructure projects are in total violation of the international laws and conventions that clearly prohibit any construction works in an occupied land.

Israeli soldiers invaded, on Saturday at dawn, the town of Doura, south of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and clashed with many local youths, wounding several Palestinians, and kidnapped one Palestinian after initially detaining him along with two others.
Local sources in Doura said the clashes were focused in the center of the town, and that the soldiers fired many rounds of live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets and gas bombs.
One Palestinian was shot with a live round in his leg and was moved to a hospital for treatment, suffering a moderate injury.
Medics also provided the needed treatment to several Palestinians, who suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.
In addition, the soldiers confiscated a car, belonging to detainee Soheib Jabara al-Faqeeh, and kidnapped three Palestinians, but released two of them later.
The soldiers detained Mo’ab and Nabil Sharawna, the brothers of Mo’taz Idrees Sharawna, 19, who was killed by Israeli soldiers, on July 2, 2013, after the soldiers invaded Doura.
The two siblings were released later, while the soldiers also kidnapped Adam Taha Abu Sharar, 30, and took him to an unknown destination.

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Thursday ordered the family of the Palestinian detainee Ahmad Abu Zaid to evacuate their home pending its demolition in ten days.
The Israeli Supreme Court turned down on appeal filed by the family to cancel the demolition order.
The IOA set a 10-day deadline for the evacuation of the family home, which covers 100 square meters and shelters 10 members. The demolition also targets four shops in the ground floor.
The order was issued on allegations that prisoner Abu Zaid assisted three youths who carried out an anti-occupation stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Bab al-Amoud area some five months ago. The three youngsters were killed by the Israeli army right on the spot.

PLO Executive Member Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, Tuesday, strongly denounced Israel’s plan to expand three illegal Israeli settlements around the Jerusalem area, by building hundreds of residential units to accommodate more Israeli settlers.
She said, in a press release, “We strongly denounce plans by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to build 560 units in the illegal settlement of Maale Adumim and 240 units in the illegal settlements of Ramot, Gilo and Har Homa. “
Ashrawi said, according to WAFA, that the Israeli government is bent on destroying the viability, integrity and territorial contiguity of a future Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital simply by isolating Jerusalem from its Palestinian environs and ethnically cleansing the occupied city of its indigenous population.
“Israel is going too far with the expansion of its illegal settlement enterprise and its blatant disregard for international law and conventions, standing UN resolutions and global consensus. The continued theft of Palestinian land and the increase in settlements constitute serious and grave threats to security and stability within the region and beyond.”
Ashrawi deplored the announcement by Netanyahu and Lieberman to expand and intensify settlement activities in Hebron, including the approval of the construction of an additional 42 units in the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba.
Ashrawi further condemned the use of collective punishment against around 700,000 people in the Hebron area. “Such critical Israeli escalation paints a grim picture and provokes further anger, violence and extremism,” she added.
The expansion plans come two days following the release of the Middle East Quartet’s report, which flagrantly accommodates Israel’s demands and violations, equates a vulnerable people under a brutal military occupation with a ruthless occupier and falls below the minimum requirements for peace, said Ashrawi.
“We call on all members of the international community to uphold their moral, legal and political responsibilities and to hold Israel to account for its blatant violations of international law and consensus.”
“The chances for the two-state solution are rapidly disappearing; if Israel is not stopped, extremism and violence will prevail,” she concluded.

U.S. State Department said Tuesday the reports of new Israeli construction permits called into question Israel’s commitment to the two-state solution.
We’re aware of reports that the Government of Israel intends to advance plans for hundreds of housing units in Israeli settlements in the West Bank as well as East Jerusalem, spokesman for the U.S. State Department John Kirby said.
If it’s true, this report would be the latest step in what seems to be a systematic process of land seizures, settlement expansions, and legalizations of outposts that is fundamentally undermining the prospects for a two-state solution, he added.
“We oppose steps like these, which we believe are counterproductive to the cause of peace.”
On Sunday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Army Minister Avigdor Liberman approved the construction of 800 of new housing units in occupied Jerusalem.
According to the plan, 560 new units will be built in Ma’ale Adumim, 140 homes were approved for Ramot settlement and 100 for the Har Homa settlement in southeastern of occupied Jerusalem.
US, UN slam Israeli decision to advance settlement construction
State Department calls plans to build hundreds of housing units in the West Bank and East Jerusalem 'a systematic process of land seizures, settlement expansions and legalizations of outposts that is fundamentally undermining the prospects for a two-state solution.'
Israel has been hit with harsh criticism over decision to advance plans to build hundreds of units in the West Bank and East Jerusalem just days after world powers called on Israel to stop its settlement policy.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday US officials had seen reports that Israel intends to advance plans for hundreds of housing units in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
"If true, this report would be the latest step in what seems to be a systematic process of land seizures, settlement expansions and legalizations of outposts that is fundamentally undermining the prospects for a two-state solution," Kirby told a news briefing.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon also questioned Israel's commitment to reaching peace with the Palestinians.
"This raises legitimate questions about Israel's long-term intentions, which are compounded by continuing statements of some Israeli ministers calling for the annexation of the West Bank," Ban's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
Ban was "deeply disappointed" that Israel's announcement followed the release of a report on Friday by the Quartet sponsoring the stalled Middle East peace process - the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations.
The long-awaited report said Israel should stop building settlements, denying Palestinian development and designating land for exclusive Israeli use that Palestinians seek for a future state.
The Palestinians want an independent state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem, areas Israel captured in the 1967 Six-Day War. The last round of peace talks broke down in April 2014 and Israeli-Palestinian violence has surged in recent months.
The Quartet report said at least 570,000 Israelis are living in the settlements.
Ban "reiterates that settlements are illegal under international law and urges the Government of Israel to halt and reverse such decisions in the interest of peace and a just final status agreement," Dujarric said.
Diplomats said the Quartet report was not as hard-hitting as expected after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set out to ensure the document was softened.

Israeli bulldozers started leveling works in al-Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood for opening a street and establishing housing apartments compound for the sake of increasing numbers of settlers residing in Occupied Jerusalem.
With the increasing establishment of settlements, there have been over 29 settlements located within 112,000 dunums in Occupied Jerusalem and inhabited by 269,996 settlers who form 5% of the total number of settlers residing in Israel.
Khalil Tafkaji, settlement expert and head of maps and land department at the Arab Studies Society, said that the Israeli settlement plan is a part of a settlement series for which about 3345 dunums of Palestinians’ lands were confiscated in 1968.
Tafkaji told the PIC reporter that the Israeli plan was endorsed in 1998 to build 190 new settlement housing units in the area on three phases. The first of which has been implemented and the second and the third are being conducted and expected to be finished in 2019.

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) ordered a Palestinian family to evacuate their home in Silwan town, in Occupied Jerusalem, pending its demolition.
Activist Fakhri Abu Diab said Israeli occupation policemen and municipal crews stormed al-Basateen neighborhood, in Silwan, and handed the family an evacuation order under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
The IOA gave the family a ten-day limit to leave the house. The building belongs to the Basheer family. It was rebuilt a few years ago after the IOA had knocked it down in 2005.
The activist further warned of an Israeli intent to raze 100 homes, where 1,650 Palestinians have been taken shelter, in al-Basateen neighborhood for the purpose of establishing a park.
