The Israeli occupation authorities embarked on building a new colonial road that is expected to be 2 km long and connect Immanuel colony with a bypass road. According to the blueprint, the new bypass road is expected to isolate no less than 500 agricultural dunums between Emanuel and the other bypass. The Israeli authorities -in synchronization with the start of building the road that destroyed no less than 100 olive trees-distributed orders to remove 100 olive trees in Wad Qana that belong to 30 farmers of Deiristiya under the pretext that their existence is a violation to the law of Israeli nature.
