Military order No. (06/08/T)

military order No. (06/08/T). The military order was issued on April 16 2008 by the “Central Commander” Gadi Shamni and under orders of the former Brigadier of Ramallah Col. Amir Abulafia (אל"מ אמיר אבולעפיה). The military order announced the confiscation of 18.9 dunums of agricultural land located in the basin No. 9 in the sites Al-Joros, Aqabet Bear Renn and Baten Al-Jaher.

The military order did not indicate the purpose of the confiscation. The order was issued after a declaration of the Israeli war criminal Ehud Barak on March 7 2008 in which Barak stated that he issued a military order to convert the colony of “Modi'in Illit” into an Israeli city on the occupied Palestinian land and that he wanted to open a University in the colony. The Modi'in Illit squatter colony was established in 1991 and is located 8 km north-west of Jerusalem, and the new and illegal borders are now known as the boundaries of the “Modi'in Illit” colonies. Five squatter colonies occupied by 40,000 American, European and Ethiopian zionist jews. It is the largest jewish colony in the Palestinian territories.

Under the command of Reshef it was clear that the confiscation of the Palestinian land serves the plan of Ehud Barak, the so called “defense minister”. It was for the establishment of a crossing, the so-called “Kiryat Sefer” crossing on the territory of Nilin. The crossing serves the boundaries (five colonies) of Modi'in Illit. Reshef confiscated 60 dunums instead of 18.9 dunums mentioned in the military order. This is a war crime and criminal theft, even a violation of the fascist military law. Before that, the IDF central command had confiscated 2500 dunums of Nilin’s land to build the apartheid wall. The length of the Apartheid Wall in the village of Ni'lin is 8.7 km and it separated and looted of 5883 dunums (40% of the lands of the village) from their owners, inhabitants of Nilin.
