Israeli settlers today placed a fence around a privately-owned Palestinian land in Beit Ummar, a town in the south of the occupied West Bank, in an effort to take it over, said activist Mohammad Awad.
He told WAFA that settlers, under army protection, placed the fence around a 12-dunum plot of land planted with almonds, grape vines, olive trees and forest trees in the north of the town owned by Saqer Abu Ayyash.
He said Abu Ayyash has been leading a 20-year legal battle against the settlers to prove his ownership of the plot by presenting land deeds proving ownership.
“They came back today and placed a fence around the land and when I showed up to stop them, they said I should go to the (Israeli military) Civil Administration and ask them about the land,” said Abu Ayyash.

Palestinian media reported on Monday that several Palestinian villagers from the West Bank village of Beeta, south of Nablus city, have been treated for injuries caused by live and rubber-coated steel Israeli bullets and tear gas.
Medical sources said that at least three of those villagers were shot and wounded by live bullets, while 20 others were injured by coated-steel bullets, with some 50 others debilitated by tear gas inhalation.
Local sources in southern Nablus, including Ghassan Daghlas, head of the Palestinian agency monitoring Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank, said that hundreds of local villagers in the area surrounding the Erma hilltop, protested an invasion by armed Israeli settlers of the area. video
Daghlas also noted that the crowd of Palestinians faced a tough Israeli response, as the Israeli army unleashed live ammunition and fired dozens of tear gas canisters.
Attacks by armed Israeli colonial settlers have been frequent over the several years, with settlement activities, backed by consecutive Israeli governments, having been exponentially increased.
Israel occupied the West Bank back, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip , in 1967 . In the late 1970s, Israel began settlements construction activities over Palestinian-owned lands.
In 2005, the Israeli state evacuated settlers unilaterally, from Gaza, while vastly expanding settler colonies in the West Bank.
Israeli settlement activities are dubbed illegal by international law and United Nations relevant resolutions.
