Hebron - (Saba):
Zionist settlers erected a fence around large areas of citizens' land in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, on Friday.
Media activist Osama Makhamreh told the Palestinian News Agency that settlers from the Karmiel settlement erected a fence around large areas of citizens' land belonging to the Awad and Daoud families in Khirbet Umm al-Khair.
He added that the settlers set up a mobile room on the eastern side of the village and prevented residents from accessing the area.
Settlers also released their livestock among agricultural crops and olive trees in most areas and villages of Masafer Yatta.
Makhamereh indicated that there is a plan to seize more citizens' land in Masafer Yatta, as these plans aim to force residents to leave their lands for the benefit of settlement expansion.
