The mayor of Salfit, Abdul Kareem Fattash, said that Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday handed Palestinians orders to stop work on reclamation of their lands and building storerooms in an area west of the occupied West Bank city of Salfit.

He told Safa that three orders were issued to local farmers to halt reclamation of their land and a fourth to another resident to stop construction of storerooms claiming that the lands are located in Area C of the occupied West Bank, which is under full Israeli military rule.
