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.
