HEBRON, February 23, 2013 (WAFA) – Israeli soldiers Saturday arrested one Palestinian resident of Yatta, a town south of Hebron, and prevented other residents from reaching their land adjacent to the illegal Otnael settlement, according to a local activist.

Ratib Jbour, member of the local popular committee, said the residents were trying to reach their land which they fear Israel is going to seize for settlement expansion when soldiers confronted them and forced them to go back.

The residents’ move was part of the weekly activity of the town residents to protect their land from Israeli takeover.
