On Thursday evening, fifteen illegal Israeli colonizers establish a new colonial outpost near the town of Al-Auja, north of Jericho in the northeastern part of the occupied West Bank.
According to Ayman Gharib, a local activist with the Popular Resistance Committees in the Jordan Valley, said that illegal Israeli settlers invaded the area near the Auja Spring, bringing housing equipment and established a new outpost in its vicinity.
In the northern West Bank, illegal settlers attacked, on Thursday evening, a truck loaded with flour near Beita town, south of Nablus.
Media sources said that a group of colonizers attacked the truck and destroyed part of its cargo.
Meanwhile, according to Tawfiq Haj Muhammad, the head of the Beit Dajan Village Council, said that Israeli colonizers set fire, on Thursday evening, to agricultural land in the eastern part of Beit Dajan village, east of Nablus, while local Palestinians attempted to extinguish the fires.
On Wednesday night, it was reported that Israeli colonizers set fire to fifteen dunams of Palestinian-owned agricultural lands in the town of Sebastia, northwest of Nablus.
In the central West Bank, armed paramilitary colonizers invaded, on Thursday morning, the village of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah.
Media sources said that armed colonists, accompanied by 200 heads of sheep, stormed Palestinian-owned lands in the town and set up two tents.
Furthermore, Israeli settlers set up mobile homes outside the fence of the illegal , built on stolen Palestinian lands in the village of Karma and the town of Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
According to Rateb Jabour, the official monitoring Israeli violations in Hebron, said that colonizers set up eight mobile homes outside the boundaries of the illegal “Otniel” settlement, southwest of Hebron.
In related news, the Israeli occupation authorities confiscated six dunams of Palestinian-owned land from the villages of Nahalin and Jab’a, southwest of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, according to the head of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Muayyad Shaaban.
It is important to mention that the Israeli Knesset approved, on Wednesday, “the annexation of lands in the West Bank to Israel, and considering the southern Hebron region as part of the Negev.”
The “Canceling of Disengagement” law seeks to legitimize four evacuated settlements of “Ganim”, “Kadim”, “Homesh”, and “Sanur”, which would facilitate settlers reoccupation of the dismantled colonies.
