Today, Wednesday, settlers erected a number of electricity poles in the Tuqua Wilderness, southeast of Bethlehem, in preparation for establishing a new colonial outpost.

According to the director of the Office of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission in Bethlehem, Hassan Barijiyah: Settlers, protected by the Israeli occupation forces, installed electricity poles in the “Fathura” area in the Tuqu’ Wilderness, in preparation for establishing a new settlement outpost, near the “Tekwa” settlement, which is located on citizens’ lands.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces and settlers escalated their attacks in the Tuqu’ wilderness area, by pursuing farmers, demolishing their agricultural rooms and tents, and seizing their contents.
