RAMALLAH, January 7, 2026 (WAFA) – Colonists on Wednesday began paving a colonial road in the Khirbet Tarfeen area near the entrance of the town of Atara, north of Ramallah, on land seized last August.

WAFA correspondent reported that the site is located on a mountain covering an area of approximately 2,000 dunums and is considered an archaeological area.

Colonists’ violence against Palestinians and their properties has dramatically increased since the onset of Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people on October 7th, 2023.

The indiscriminate violence by Israeli colonists against Palestinian civilians and their properties has been widely condemned.

Several countries have imposed sanctions against Israeli colonists accused of committing acts of violence against the Palestinian people in the West Bank.
