Israeli bulldozers raze land, destroy water well

BETHELEHEM: Israeli bulldozers on Monday razed agricultural land and demolished a water well used for agricultural purposes in Al-Khader, a town south of Bethlehem, according to a local activist.
Ahmad Salah, coordinator of the popular committee against settlements in Al-Khader, said Israeli bulldozers, protected by Israeli soldiers, razed around five dunums of land, uprooted and seized olive trees, and demolished a well used for collecting rain for local farmers to use to irrigate their land.
He stressed the continual Israeli policy against local farmers is aimed at seizing the town land for the benefit of establishing parks.
