Scores of Palestinians rallied today in the village of Saffa, to the west of Ramallah, in protest of Israeli plans to confiscate large swathes of Palestinian lands in the village in favor of the construction of an industrial complex for Israeli settlers, according to local sources. During the rally, held immediately following the Friday prayer and sermon, the protesters shouted slogans condemning the Israeli colonial settlement policy and affirming their right to their own lands that are at risk of confiscation by the Israeli occupation authorities. Israel has already confiscated nearly 400 dunums of Palestinian lands in the village for the construction of an industrial complex for Israeli settlers.
