Israeli settlers moved into houses near the occupied West Bank city of Jericho this week, claiming they had purchased the properties legally, Middle East Eye reported. Palestinian officials disputed the transaction, alleging that the sale documents were forged.
The move marks the latest in a series of settler expansions in the West Bank, a territory where Palestinians seek to establish a future state.
