OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) bulldozed vast tracts of cultivated land in Shufat in occupied Jerusalem on Sunday to pave the way for constructing a road. Local sources said that IOF soldiers used bulldozers to level 90 dunums of cultivated land in Ras suburb and destroyed many old, fruitful olive trees in the process. They said that soldiers were deployed in the scene of the destruction to block citizens from approaching and to protect the bulldozers.
