The Environmental Quality Authority in Qalqilya Governorate, in coordination with the customs authority and the tourism and antiquities police, seized two trucks with Israeli license plates in the lands of Nabi Elias village, loaded with construction waste and contaminated agricultural soil.
The Environmental Quality Authority clarified that the two trucks were carrying about 34 tons of waste, including contaminated soil sourced from one of the Israeli asphalt factories, in addition to construction debris resulting from workshops and building activities.
It added that its inspectors, in cooperation with the relevant authorities, returned the trucks to their source within the lands of 1948, according to the legal procedures followed, urging citizens not to accept any type of waste on their lands and to immediately report any suspected cases of waste smuggling due to the danger they pose to human health and the Palestinian environment.
