Israel is accelerating settlement construction across the occupied West Bank through new projects designed to expand territorial control, according to Shehab Wire. The National Office for Land Defense and Anti-Settlement Resistance reported the escalation, noting that Israeli settlers are executing the schemes with direct support from the Israeli military.
