Israeli occupation forces have taken control of 18 percent of West Bank territory over the past two years, Shehab Wire reported. The expansion includes the establishment of 185 settler outposts as Israel intensifies its grip on Palestinian land and open areas.
The accelerating settlement expansion continues despite international opposition to Israeli control over Palestinian territories. The seizures and outpost construction represent a significant shift in the scale and pace of territorial appropriation in the occupied West Bank.
