Some Israeli settlers Sunday morning razed tracts of land in the Urif village to the south city of Nablus, according to a local source.

The chairman of the council of Urif village, Mazen Shehada, told SAFA that Israeli settlers used bulldozers to raze the locality land in the region of Ba'er el- Jouza, located near the Israeli settlement of Yitzhar.

He pointed that these land belong to the citizens of Urif and the Israeli forces don't allow them to access their land without a permit.

The West Bank, including east Jerusalem, is regarded as occupied territory under international law, thus making all Jewish settlements there illegal.
