Buldozers level Palestinian land in Oush Grab, 11.02.2010

Buldozers, protected by the Israeli military, level lands in Oush Grab, Beit Sahour, 11.02.2010. The Israeli military closed the zone, far beyond the hill on which they are working. They prevented locals and journalists to walk up the hill, and refused to provide any explanation, It is not clear what they want to build. The Israeli military left Oush Grab in 2006. Since then many facilities were built there for the Palestinian people, including a restaurant and a park for the children. Residents fear this is the beginning of a new settlement and maintain a presence to protest.
