Settlers established a new outpost Friday on Palestinian lands in the towns of Silwad and Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, Shehab Wire reported. Local sources said the move represents another step in an ongoing campaign to expand Israeli settlements and seize additional Palestinian territory in the region.
The establishment of the outpost follows a pattern of settlement expansion efforts around Ramallah. Silwad and Deir Jarir have faced repeated Israeli settlement pressures over recent years as colonists advance claims to land in the area east of the Palestinian city.
