Settlers resumed bulldozing and expansion work at an outpost in Umm Safah village, north of Ramallah, beginning Wednesday morning, Shehab Wire reported. The activity involved heavy equipment and ground-leveling operations across the settlement site.
Marwan Sabah, head of Umm Safah village council, confirmed that a number of settlers had initiated the work. The expansion effort marks a continuation of settlement construction activity in the occupied territory surrounding the village, where Israeli outposts have faced periodic Palestinian opposition and international criticism.
