Today, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation authorities seized a plot of land to pave a new colonial road northwest of Nablus.

The head of the Joint Services Council for the villages of northwest Nablus, Muhammad Azem, said that the occupation forces delivered a notice to seize about half a dunum of land from Sebastia, Naqoura and Deir Sharaf, in order to pave a new colonial road for a new pastoral colonial outpost in the area.

He added that the targeted land is located in Basin No. 12 of Naqoura lands, Basin No. 14 of Deir Sharaf lands, and Basin No. 4 of Sebastia lands.

He pointed out that settlers established this colonial outpost in mid-2023, by erecting a tent for one of the settlers, and now it has expanded and includes a number of mobile homes.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, during the month of January, the settlers attempted to establish 10 new colonial outposts, which were predominantly agricultural and pastoral in nature. They were distributed as follows: 4 new colonial outposts on the lands of Tubas Governorate, 3 outposts in Nablus Governorate, and 3 others in Qalqilya, Ramallah, and Bethlehem.

During the same period, the occupation authorities seized a total of 262 dunums of citizens’ lands in the West Bank, including Jerusalem.
