Zionist forces bomb southern Lebanon as NGO denounces plans for additional housing units in East Jerusalem. 🟡 Since 1967, Israel has confiscated land belonging to Palestinian Christian families, particularly around Bethlehem, to construct and expand Israeli settlements considered illegal under international law. The expansion of the settlement reaches the edge of Highway 60, further disconnecting East Jerusalem from the southern West Bank, as the road links the holy city with Bethlehem. The planned construction area also includes extensive centuries-old olive groves on privately owned Palestinian land, Ir Amim said, warning that they could be uprooted once the project moves forward. teleSUR/ JFSources: EFE – Ir Amim
