Palestinian villagers to sue Israel
Palestinian villagers are initiating legal action against the Israeli military for conducting military drills that cause extensive damage to their agricultural fields, Press TV reports.
A group of villagers told Press TV that Israeli forces carried out the week-long maneuver near villages in the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil.
“The entire area is confiscated by the Israeli military. They only allow people to build in small, enclosed areas. If you build outside this area, they will demolish your land,” said Solomon Najata, a Palestinian villager.
“They divided the area for military training which leaves the shepherd with nowhere to graze their sheep,” he added.
The Palestinian villagers said Israeli forces carried out the drill without prior notice.

The villages were reportedly evacuated during the exercises. However, the Israeli military’s move is a violation of the order issued by a high court of justice forbidding the eviction of villagers from their homes.
Human rights groups referred the case to the court after calls on the Israeli military to stop the drills and compensate the Palestinian villagers were ignored.
