LONDON: Israeli settlers have established a new illegal settlement outpost near the Palestinian town of Al-Auja, located near Jericho in the eastern part of the occupied West Bank. Large groups of armed settlers carried out bulldozing works on Monday aimed at establishing a new “colonial reality” on the ground, according to the Wafa news agency. Hassan Mleihat, chairman of the Al-Baidar Association for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, said that there are seven pastoral settlement outposts situated in the Al-Auja area.
