The occupation intends to pave a military road passing through the lands of Raba, east of Jenin.

The Israeli occupation army intends to pave a military road extending from the village of Matla, east of Jenin, through vast agricultural lands in the village of Raba, and reaching a mountainous area in the Bziq Plain, with the aim of establishing a new military post.

According to local sources, the occupation authorities have issued notices of the seizure of land and agricultural plots owned by citizens of the village of Raba and the city of Tubas, under the pretext of constructing a colonial military road.

Al-Bazour added that the military road begins in the village of Matla and extends toward the Bziq plain, reaching Jabal al-Masalma, where the occupation authorities are planning to establish a military observation post as part of an expansionist plan aimed at strengthening control over the area.

He pointed out that the occupation had, last Thursday, delivered notices to seize agricultural land in Raba for military purposes, stressing that these measures are part of a systematic policy of land seizure and restricting urban and agricultural expansion in the village.

It is worth noting that the area of the village of Raba is estimated at approximately 27,000 dunams, and is home to approximately 5,000 people. Since 2003, it has been subjected to repeated attacks, most notably the construction of the separation wall and the racist expansion of parts of its fertile agricultural lands.
