Several Israeli bulldozers entered into the “buffer zone” along the northern Gaza border, on Monday morning, where they razed lands under heavy military protection.
Locals told Ma’an News Agency that four Israeli military bulldozers raided lands in the town of Beit Lahiya.
As the bulldozers razed and leveled lands, military drones reportedly flew overhead.
Israeli military incursions inside the besieged Gaza Strip and near the “buffer zone,” which lies on both land and sea sides of Gaza, have long been a near-daily occurrence.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for 10 years.

Palestinian sources on Thursday unveiled an Israeli scheme to confiscate thousands of dunums of land north of Tulkarem city for settlement purposes.
Mayor of Qaffin town Jihad Ta'ma told Quds Press that the Israeli occupation authorities have recently confiscated 14 dunums of lands located between Qaffin, north of Tulkarem, and Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin, claiming that they are "state lands" although they are privately-owned by Palestinian citizens.
Ta'ma explained that this confiscation campaign is aimed at expanding and annexing Harish settlement built near the Green Line separating the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories and the West Bank.
He pointed out that Israel, since it occupied Qaffin in 1967, has seized thousands of dunums of the village's lands in favor of settlement projects with the aim of imposing new facts on the ground and consolidating settlement in the West Bank.
Israel's settlement construction is a systematic activity that is not limited to residential buildings but also includes schools, institutes, universities, health centers, industrial areas and even road networks connecting settlements together.
The UN Security Council on 23rd December 2016 adopted a draft resolution to halt the illegal settlement construction in the occupied Palestinian territories since it undermines the two-state solution and the peace process.

The City Council in occupied Jerusalem approved, Thursday, the construction of 3000 new colonialist units, near Gilo illegal colony, south of Jerusalem.
The targeted lands, which Israel is planning to build the new units on, are largely privately-owned by the Palestinians.
The deputy mayor of Jerusalem, who also heads the “Planning Committee” stated that “this is a historic day for Jerusalem,” and added, “this means more homes of young couples in the city, and ongoing development.”
Meanwhile, the Palestinians, including the young couples in Jerusalem, continue to be denied the right to build and expand on their own lands, face constant home demolitions and very high fines.
Israel’s colonies in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention which states an occupying power is forbidden from transferring parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies.

The Israeli occupation authorities started the construction of a new separation wall dismembering Palestinian communities in Deir Balout, west of Salfit.
Deir Ballout mayor, Yahya Mustafa, said the construction of the wall dovetails Israeli works to expand Leshem settlement at the expense of Palestinian lands in Rafat and Kafr al-Dick towns.
Local farmer Idris Abdullah said the settlement activities led to the confiscation of parts of his land lots in the area and that the apartheid fence is just a few meters away from his family’s home.
He added that the occupation authorities have repeatedly threatened to confiscate his lands and olive groves located east of Deir Ballout.
Researcher Khaled Maali said dozens of olive trees were uprooted and huge rocks stolen from Palestinian lands to build the wall.
Maali said the confiscation of Palestinian lands for the benefit of illegal settlement construction contravenes Article 49 and Article 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
