QALQILIYA (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces razed Palestinian land south of Qalqiliya in the northern West Bank early Thursday, witnesses said.

Israeli civil administration crews arrived with bulldozers and razed land belonging to Jalud village. They also uprooted olive trees, witnesses told Ma'an.

Locals say Israeli authorities plan to confiscate the land to expand the illegal Alfe Menashe settlement, built on Palestinian land in the area.
