JENIN, August 7, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli colonists, accompanied by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, raided the area of “Tarsala” near the town of Jaba’, south of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
According to local sources, five buses carrying colonists, along with a large number of military vehicles and a bulldozer, entered the area adjacent to the former illegal colony of Sanur, which was dismantled in 2005.
The colonists continued to storm the area despite its intermittent evacuation. Joining Smotrich was Yossi Dagan, head of the Settlements Council in the northern West Bank, who also participated in the incursion.
In May, Israel's Security Cabinet approved the reestablishment of 22 illegal colonies in the occupied West Bank, including the former colonies of Homesh and Tarsala in the Jenin governorate.
