<p>AL-KHALIL, (PIC)&#8211; Israeli occupation forces (IOF) bulldozed 19 dunums of Palestinian land in Baka’a area to the east of Al-Khalil on Monday in preparation for annexing them to nearby Jewish settlements, local sources said.</p>
<p>They said that the IOF soldiers, accompanied by police and border police forces and civil administration officials raided the area and destroyed part of the irrigation network and confiscated it.</p>
<p>The sources noted that the act was the second of its kind and targeted lands owned by two Palestinian citizens.</p>
<p>They charged that the step was meant to evict the farmers out of their land and to annex it to the nearby settlements of Kharsina and Kiryat Arba.</p>
<p>The Baka’a is the most fertile area in the region and its farmers are constantly harassed by Jewish settlers.</p>
