Israeli occupation soldiers tore down a fence surrounding a farm today in the village of Azzun Atme, to the south of Qalqilia in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. Abdelkarim Ayyub, a member of the village’s council, said an Israeli army force broke into the village and destroyed a 100-meter-long fence erected around a Palestinian-owned farm, under the pretext that the farm is located in an area classified as Area C, under full Israeli control. The farm belongs to Abdul-Rahim el-Sheikh, a local Palestinian resident. During the raid, the Israeli army forced staff of the village’s municipal council to stop working on a land reclamation project in the village, under the pretext of lacking an Israeli permit, added Ayyb.
