Settlers established a new outpost on Tuesday in Khirbet al-Alawna, an area within Beit Iksa village northwest of occupied Jerusalem, Shehab Wire reported. The outpost marks the second such settlement the group has erected on the village's land in approximately four months.
Beit Iksa, a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank, has faced repeated settlement expansion. The latest outpost addition reflects an acceleration in Israeli settler activity in the area.
