Last night, settlers established a new colonial outpost east of the Tayasir checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley.

Human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh reported that the settlers had set up a pergola to the east of the Tayasir checkpoint, and brought a number of cattle to the area, amid fears that it would be the nucleus of a new colonial outpost in the Jordan Valley.

There are now more than 8 colonial outposts in the northern Jordan Valley, most of which are pastoral in nature, through which the colonists seize thousands of dunams of pastoral land.
