Israeli Occupation Forces to seize 9.8 dunums from Ya’bad town

 

  • Violation: seizure order
  • Location: Ya'bad town- Jenin governorate
  • Date:  May 10, 2017
  • Perpetrators: Israeli Occupation Forces
  • Victims:  residents of Ya'bad

Details:

 The commander of the Israeli Occupation Army, Roni Alov,  issued a military seizure order on 9.8 dunums from Ya'bad town on the claim of "security purposes". The order was issued in March but was delivered  in May  and hanged at the Dotan military checkpoint. Ironically, the order had a seven day deadline for objection, starting from the date of issuance, which is two months ago.

 The military order  number ( 17/5/ت) aims at seizing lands to create a closed military zone through setting up a fence  (1km* 10m) on both sides of the bypass road leading to Mevo Dotan and Hermesh colonies, south Ya'bad town.

It is reported that the occupation showed information about the targeted areas as detailed in the below table:

Previous procedures:

It should be marked that Israeli Occupation Forces set up another fence in 2015. The recent set-up  fence comes within  a plan to take over lands and hinder Palestinian farmers' movement and access to lands.

"This means that the area has become a closed military zone where Palestinian farmers can’t exploit their agricultural lands in the nearby of the buffer zone of Mevo Dotan colony ", said the mayor of Ya’bad Yousef Atatra
