JERICHO (Palestine Foundation Information Center) A horde of extremist Jewish settlers continued on Wednesday to expand an illegal settlement outpost near al-Jiftlik village in northern Jericho in the occupied West Bank.
A local official reported that a group of settlers brought vehicles and equipment to the outpost, which they established about four months ago in the village.
He added that the settlers also placed mobile homes, planted palm trees, plowed a swath of land, and annexed more dunums of land around the outpost.
Earlier, another group of settlers from the illegal settlement of Vered Yeriho near Jericho placed a fence on a mount overlooking the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp and seized vast tracts of land in the area.
