Israeli colonists today forced a Palestinian farmer to leave his land in the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem, according to the director of the Office of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission in Bethlehem, Hassan Breijieh.

He said that a group of colonists forced Ali Issa Nabahin to leave his land located near the illegal colony of Ibi Hanahel, east of the village, while he was reclaiming it.

Meanwhile, colonists today burnt agricultural lands in the village of Qaryout, south of Nablus in the north of the West Bank.

Settlement resistance activist Bashar Qaryouti said that colonists burned dozens of acres of agricultural land west of the village.

He pointed out that the occupation forces and colonizers have been preventing farmers from reaching that area since the beginning of the aggression on the Gaza Strip, stressing that it is located within the area classified as B, under Palestinian administration and Israeli military rule.
