Palestinians to Plant Trees in Response to Settlement Expansion

Date : 1/10/2009   Time : 18:41

HEBRON, October 1, 2009 (WAFA)- Palestinians  of the South Hebron Hills area will plant next Saturday trees on privately owned Palestinian land in a valley near the expanding Israeli settlement of Ma’on.

The action will begin at 8:30 am, and participants in the action will leave from At-Tuwani to walk to a nearby field in order to plant trees and work the land.

In a press release Christian Peacemaker Teams and Operation Dove said the action will take place in response to the further encroachment of Ma’on on Palestinian land.  In recent weeks, workers have been expanding the Ma’on.  Throughout September, at least six additional

mobile homes were erected and work continues daily to prepare more land for additional settlement expansion.  This is in addition to fields previously confiscated by Ma’on.

This is the latest of documented Israeli settlement expansion in the South Hebron Hills area.  Expansion continues in the illegal settlements and outposts of Karmel, Suseya, Havat Ma’on, and Avigail, expropriating and denying Palestinians access to ever greater tracts of their land.
