Israeli Settlers expand colonial outpost north of Jericho

Today, Wednesday, settlers continued to expand a colonial outpost near the village of Al-Jiftlik, north of the city of Jericho.

Local sources reported that settlers brought vehicles and equipment to the colonial outpost established four months ago in Al-Jiftlik, and expanded it by setting up caravans, planting palm trees in the surrounding land, plowing the land for cultivation, and seizing the remaining dunams of its surroundings.

The colonial expansion in the Jordan Valley threatens the occupation's ambitions to seize wealth and resources, as it adopts a policy of destruction and sabotage to make life there impossible and force citizens to be forcibly displaced.
