HEBRON, May 29, 2012 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday razed about 30 dunums of agricultural land, destroyed and confiscated its irrigation systems in al-Baqa'a, an area east of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, according to a local farmer.

Farmer Ata Jaber said that Israeli bulldozers, accompanied by Israeli forces and a staff from Mekorot, Israel’s national water company, destroyed about 30 dunums of land planted with vegetables, as well as the infrastructure of the irrigation system and confiscated its irrigation equipments.
