Israeli colonists tonight took over dozens of dunums of land in southern Bethlehem, said a local activist.

Coordinator of the committee against the wall and settlements, Hassan Brijieh, informed WAFA that a group of colonists seized dozens of dunums of land owned by a resident in an area located adjacent to the Illegal Israeli colony of Efrat and planted it with seeds.

Colonists a few days ago took over around 12 dunums of land in the same location and planted it with forest trees before they seized another 300 dunums, which they also planted.
