Today, Monday, Israeli occupation forces bulldozed agricultural lands belonging to citizens of Khirbet Masoud, southwest of Jenin, to expand a pastoral settlement outpost.
The head of the village council in Zabad, Saleh Amarneh, explained that the occupation bulldozers began this morning to level lands and olive trees owned by citizens of Zabad and Khirbet Masoud. The occupation army placed orange markers on the lands planted with olive trees, whose owners have ownership papers and a special title deed for them.
He added that the bulldozing is intended to serve and expand the pastoral colonial outpost established on the mountaintop in Khirbet Masoud, which was established in 2019. He noted that the settlers regularly assault farmers, spread their livestock across agricultural areas, and engage in acts of vandalism and destruction.
Khirbet Masoud is affiliated with the Zubdat Rural Council and consists of three population centers: Iraq al-Dawar, Khirbet Faris, and Khirbet al-Qusur. It is inhabited by approximately 350 people.
The occupation forces are bulldozing areas adjacent to the colonial outpost on the mountain, seizing dozens of dunams of agricultural land there. The area extends from Qaffin to the Ya'bad Mountains south of Jenin.
