BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) confiscated 200 dunums of Palestinian land in Firdis village near to the ancient Mount Herodian to the east of Bethlehem.
A number of farmers, whose land lots were appropriated, said that the IOA claimed the confiscation was meant to transform the area into a military zone.
Farmers refused the compensation offered by the IOA, adding that the confiscation did not include 16 dunums only as in the IOA decision but covered 200 dunums surrounding the mountain, which contain Roman relics.
They said that houses near to the confiscated land would be encircled by an iron fence.
