The Israeli occupation issued a military order to confiscate 30 dunums (1 dunum= 1000 square meters) of Palestinian land in the village of Deir Estia in the northern West Bank district of Salfit.
Nazmi Salman, head the municipal council, told Quds Press that the commander of the occupation forces in the West Bank issued an order for the confiscation of 30 dunums of agricultural land belonging to the villagers. The orders states that the land will be used from the date of signing the order till 31 December 214 for military purposes as a measure to stop "terrorist attacks."
Salman said that this military order is confiscation of land in disguise, explaining that lands that have been subject to similar previous orders have never been recovered as such orders are automatically renewed several times, adding that this was the third such order this year against lands around the Immanuel settlement which is built on confiscated land belonging to the village.
