RAMALLAH, August 2, 2026 (WAFA) — Israeli colonists on Sunday continued colonial expansion activities in several areas north of Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, coinciding with a raid on the town of Sinjil.

Local sources reported that Israeli occupation bulldozers carried out land leveling and expansion works at the illegal colonial settlement of Eli, built on Palestinian-owned lands near the towns of Turmus Ayya and al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, as part of ongoing colonial expansion plans.

Meanwhile, colonists continued expanding the colonial pastoral outpost established in the plains of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, by bringing equipment and heavy machinery to the area in an effort aimed at tightening control over more Palestinian lands.

In the same context, colonists raided the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, and toured the outskirts of the town, sparking tensions among local residents.
