 ❗️Israeli report exposes toxic waste burning on seized Palestinian farmland in Area C

The Israeli website Zman Yisrael has revealed that Israeli waste is being illegally dumped and burned in Area C, on former Palestinian farmland east of the town of Zemer and west of Jayyus in Qalqilya governorate.

The report, titled The Black Line, describes a vast landfill operating in a “gray zone” between Israel and the occupied West Bank, where overlapping jurisdictions have allowed Israeli companies to turn olive and almond groves into a massive burning dump.

The site, lying between the Green Line and the separation wall, falls under Israeli control but outside any effective environmental oversight.

Ghazi Ghanem, head of Zemer’s local council, said residents “are breathing cancer,” as toxic smoke from burning plastic fills the air. He warned that children suffer from respiratory illnesses and groundwater contamination is spreading.

According to Ghanem, Israeli buyers acquired the lands once farmed by Palestinians and now profit from bringing in truckloads of garbage from inside Israel “as if moving within Israel itself.”
