<p>AL-KHALIL, (PIC)&#8211; Jewish settlers have released hounds on Palestinians who stepped foot on land that was taken from them to build the Asfar settlement on the Sa&#8217;ir area east of Al-Khalil city, Palestinian sources have said.</p>
<p>The settlers have been carrying out excavations there on farmlands owned by the Shalalida and Halayka families, the sources added.</p>
<p>In two years, the settlers managed to usurp more than 200 dunums (49.4 acres ) of land under the nose of the media and Palestinian officials.</p>
<p>The Shalalidas and Halaykas say they have deeds registered at the Palestinian property department proving their ownership of the land.</p>
<p>The same sources said the landowners have been visiting the confiscated land daily in a bid to foil the excavations, but they have been exposed to attacks and expulsion by the settlers under protection of Israeli military forces.</p>
<p>The families are planning on filing petitions against the army and the settlers with local and international courts.</p>
<p>The Asfar settlement was built on land belonging to several Palestinian families in the early 1980s.</p>
