RAMALLAH: Israeli settlers continued expansion activities in several areas north of Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, coinciding with a raid on the town of Sinjil.
Local sources reported that Israeli bulldozers carried out land leveling and expansion works at the illegal settlement of Eli, built on Palestinian-owned land near the towns of Turmus Ayya and Al-Lubban Al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, as part of ongoing colonial expansion plans.
Meanwhile, colonists continued to expand the pastoral outpost established on the plains of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, by bringing equipment and heavy machinery to the area in an effort to tighten control over more Palestinian land.
Palestinian presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh says that the Israeli authorities are continuing their comprehensive war against the Palestinian people despite an agreement to implement the second phase of the ceasefire.
In the same context, settlers raided the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, and toured the outskirts of the town, sparking tensions among local residents.
