JERICHO, Sunday, August 25, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists set up today a new colonial outpost southwest of Jericho, according to local sources.

Sources told WAFA that colonists stormed the Deir Quruntal area and set up a tent there, in an apparent prelude to establishing a new colonial outpost there.

Last Thursday, colonists set up another colonial outpost near the al-Auja spring, north of Jericho.

Since the start of this year and until the end of June, colonists established 17 colonial outposts on Palestinian citizens' lands in the occupied West Bank.

The occupation authorities also legitimized 11 new colonial outposts during the same period. Such actions threaten the seizure of more land and further tighten the grip on additional Palestinian villages and towns for the benefit of colonial expansion.
