Israeli occupation authorities ordered today the confiscation of about 200 dunums of Palestinian private-owned land near the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem city in the occupied West Bank, said a local source.
Ahmad Ghazal, deputy mayor of the village, told WAFA that a force of the Israeli occupation army broke into al-Tina area in the village, and notified local citizens that the 200 dunums of land was confiscated for military purposes. The army also told the citizens that they are denied entry into the confiscated land.
