NABLUS, August 16, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday notified a Palestinian of their plan to seize his land in Khirbet Al-Marajim, south of the Nablus village of Duma, said a local activist.

Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, said Israeli forces posted a notification of their plan to seize a four-dunum land plot belonging to Jamal Tawil.

This came about four months after Israeli forces demolished Tawil’s house under the pretext of unlicensed building during a raid that provoked clashes into Khirbet Al-Marajim.

Israeli forces occasionally handed orders to Palestinian villages, south of Nablus, notifying them of plans to seize their lands and ordering them to stop the construction of their structures.

In January, stop-construction orders were handed for eight Palestinian houses in the Nablus locality.

In February, 20 Palestinian dwellings making Ein al-Rushrash locality, southeast of Duma, were demolished and about 85 Palestinians were displaced as a result.
