Israeli bulldozers have continued to level agricultural land in the village of Raba, located east of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, for a second day, Al Jazeera reports.

The aim was to make preparations for a military road near the Jabar al-Masalma area on the outskirts of the village, local officials were quoted as saying by Wafa.

Israeli authorities had earlier issued orders to confiscate Palestinian land around the village, which is home to approximately 5,000 people, Al Jazeera added.
