Occupation army prevent farmers reaching their lands north of Tulkarm

The Israeli occupation forces continue to close the gate built on the section of the separation and racial expansion wall, west of the village of Akaba, north of Tulkarm, for the eighth day in a row.

According to local sources, those forces closed the gate a week ago, without giving reasons, and prevented workers and farmers from reaching their agricultural lands behind the wall, which exacerbated their suffering, especially since they depend for their income on farming their lands, with the olive harvest season approaching.

The sources pointed out that the apartheid wall destroyed 2,500 dunums of the village's land, while the occupation forces imposed impossible restrictions on farmers to access their land.

The sources pointed out that the occupation forces placed concrete slabs and cement cubes along the wall from Akaba to the neighboring town of Qafin last year.
