Israeli forces have seized an agricultural caravan belonging to a farmer from village of Khirbet Jubara, to the south of the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem.
Head of the Khirbet Jubara Village Council, Ihsan Tahseen, told WAFA that Israeli forces escorted a large crane to a plot of land belonging to the Dasouki family, and seized the caravan.
He added that the land owner had just finished reclaiming their plot of land, which occupied a dunam and 800 square meters, and had a caravan placed in it, for agricultural purposes.
The targeted land is located at the entrance of the village, next a house demolished by Israeli forces, earlier in April, under the pretext that it was built without a permit.
The villagers of Khirbet Jubara, a small town trapped between the 1976 borderline and Israel’s apartheid wall, depend on agriculture and cultivation of chickens for their livelihood.

Israel’s wall has segregated approximately 4,000 dunams of land belonging to Khirbet Jubara and a number of neighboring villages.

The Israeli occupation authorities have decided to illegally confiscate at least twenty Dunams of privately-owned Palestinian lands, in northern West Bank, to pave a new road for illegal colonies.
Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official who monitors Israel’s colonialist activities in northern West Bank, said the lands and the newly planned segregated road are east of Nablus.
Daghlas added that the lands are owned by Palestinian farmers from Deir al-Hatab and Azmout villages, and will be used to pave roads leading to Elon Moreh illegal colony.
More than 400 Palestinians will be impacted by the planned road, which could also lead to more illegal confiscations of lands, especially since Israel implements buffer zones and other security measures to segregate such roads.
Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Conventions and various United Nations resolutions.
