In a rare event, the Israeli government has admitted to the Supreme Court that it mistakenly expropriated more than 11 acres of private Palestinian land in Ofra, a Jewish settlement built on land Israel captured in 1967, Ynetnews said in a report Thursday.
At least nine homes have been built on this land, and Palestinian lawyers say the land must be returned to its owners.
"We are asking the Israeli government to destroy the houses of the settlers which were built on this land, to evacuate the land and to give it back to the Palestinians,” Tawfiq Jabarin, a lawyer representing the Palestinian families said.
