Israeli forces detain Palestinian man who removed settler tent

Ma’an | October 25, 2014

HEBRON – Israeli forces detained a Palestinian from the village of Susiya south of Hebron after residents took down a tent set up by Israeli settlers on land belonging to a Palestinian family in the area, a local official said.

Jihad al-Nawajaa, the head of a local village council, told Ma’an that Israeli forces detained Ahmad Muhammad Mahmoud al-Hadar, 35, after he took down a tent set up by settlers on the al-Hadar family’s property.

He said that soldiers “assaulted” Palestinian villagers at the same time.

The tent was set up as an outpost to expand the illegal Israeli settlement of Susiya, al-Nawajaa said.

Al-Hadar took down the tent in order to “save our lands from Judaization and settlement.”

Some settlers act without approval to expand settlements or create new ones in the West Bank, building outposts that are illegal even by Israeli government standards.

In some cases, these settlement outposts are “legalized” by Israel, and in rare cases they are dismantled.

Meanwhile, Palestinians are rarely granted permission to build in the 60 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli military control, or in East Jerusalem.
