Today, Wednesday, settlers began expanding one of the colonial outposts near the Tayasir checkpoint, east of Tubas.

The head of the village council in Al-Maleh and the Bedouin camps, Mahdi Draghmeh, reported that a number of settlers had begun expanding the colonial outpost, which is about 200 meters northeast of the Tayasir checkpoint.

He added that the settlers have set up about three tents and three caravans so far, while expansion work continues.

About twenty days ago, the settlers established a new colonial outpost near the barrier and began expanding it.

A report by the Wall and Settlement Authority indicated that the settlers had attempted to establish 10 new colonial outposts since the beginning of last January, which were predominantly agricultural and pastoral in nature, and 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.
