Four Palestinians from the village of Housan, west of Bethlehem, received Israeli army eviction orders from their land adjacent to the settlement of Bitar Illit, according to local sources. One of the land owners said he found eviction notices in his land. He expressed fear that Israel intends to seize the land to expand the settlement. Member of the popular committee against the Wall and settlements in Bethlehem Hasan Breijeh said the Israeli government continues to seize private Palestinian land to establish new realities on the ground.
