Ramallah: The Israeli forces have killed three Palestinians and approved the construction of 3,135 new houses in the colonies of the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem last month.

According to the monthly report released on Wednesday by the International Relations Department of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), the Israeli forces and colonists have cut off more than 400 olive trees in November.

The report said that during November, the Israeli police in occupied east Jerusalem accelerated the Israeli strategy of taking over the Palestinian houses and properties. The report said that Israeli police forced the evacuation of several Palestinian families and replaced them with Israeli colonies in Arab neighbourhoods of occupied east Jerusalem.

The Israeli government has also allocated a budget of $30 millions to Juadize an area - Al Buraq area - in the Al Aqsa compound.

The report warned about the Israeli railway project that is planned to penetrate the occupied parts of the holy city of occupied Jerusalem to serve the Israeli colonists, stressing that huge areas and properties owned by Palestinians were expected to be confiscated to create this railway project.
