Israeli forces issued a military order today to seize about 0.74 acres of land in the village of Hares in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports citing Wafa, who quote local sources.
Omar Samara, the head of the Hares village council, confirmed the order on land belonging to local Palestinian residents. Samara explained that Israeli authorities have given landowners just 24 hours to appeal the decision.
He urged international and human rights organisations to take immediate action to halt the confiscation, which he said threatens the livelihoods of local farmers, Wafa reported.
