Tubas: Israeli occupation forces issued military orders last night to seize privately owned and state lands in the Tubas region and the Jordan Valley in the north of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. According to Palestine news and Information Agency - WAFA, Muataz Bisharat, an official in charge of the settlement file in the Tubas Governorate, stated that the orders targeted registered private lands and state lands with the aim of constructing a military road.
