West Bank: Israeli settlers illegally occupy land in the northern Jordan Valley

Israeli settlers set up a new illegal outpost on Thursday in the northern Jordan Valley in the West Bank, Wafa news agency reported

Several settlers set up a makeshift structure near the tents of Palestinian residents in Hammamat al-Malih, according to local sources.

Erecting structures on Palestinian land is normally a signal that settlers are trying to take over the land. Israeli settlers currently have more than eight illegal outposts in the northern Jordan Valley, which they have used to take control of vast swathes of land.
