Israel to Expand Illegal Settlement in Salfit at Expense of Palestinians

Salfit, 8 Muharram 1438/9 October 2016 (MINA) – Israeli bulldozers on Sunday morning leveled Palestinian lands in western Salfit province to expand the illegal Rafafa settlement.

Israeli bulldozers and jackhammers razed Palestinian lands on the outskirts of the Rafafa settlement to pave the way for the construction of more residential apartments for Israeli settlers, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reported.

Researcher Khaled Maali said the Rafafa settlement was built in 1991 at the expense of Palestinian lands in western Salfit.

According to Maali, Rafafa is one among 25 Israeli illegal settlements built on Palestinian lands in Salfit.(T/P008/R07)
