Gaza Residents Block PA Officials from Seizing Land
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Residents of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday thwarted an attempt by senior PA officials to seize publicly owned land in the Amal neighborhood which had previously been allocated for the construction of a school and courthouse. Eyewitnesses said scores of angry residents, armed with clubs and chains, blocked a truck carrying construction material to the disputed land dispatched by Khan Yunis police chief Jamal Abu Hassan. In the past 10 years, there have been dozens of complaints from Palestinians accusing the PA leadership of illegally seizing control over open lands.
