Israeli authorities approved two construction plans for 567 new settlement units in the Hebron governorate of the occupied West Bank, IMEMC News reported. The approvals came as part of an accelerated expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and outposts across Palestinian territory.
The development adds to ongoing Israeli settlement growth in the southern West Bank region, which international law and UN resolutions classify as illegal under occupation.
