HEBRON, April 4, 2012 (WAFA) – Settlers from Avigal, east of Yatta in Hebron area, started work on expanding the settlement despite an Israeli court ruling to evacuate it, a local activist said Wednesday.

Ratib al-Jabour, coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Yatta, said the settlers began expansion work on the settlement by building foundations for new structures despite a decision by an Israeli court to evacuate the land, owned by three different Palestinian families.
