Jericho: Colonists continued on Wednesday to expand a colonial outpost near the village of Al-Jiftlik, north of the city of Jericho. Local sources reported to WAFA that colonists brought vehicles and equipment to the colonial outpost established four months ago in Al-Jiftlik, and expanded it by setting up caravans, planting the surrounding land with palm trees, plowing the land to cultivate it, and seizing the remaining dunams of its surroundings.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the colonial expansion in the Jordan Valley poses a threat to the Israeli ambitions to seize wealth and resources. It is marked by a policy of destruction and sabotage, making life in the area challenging and forcing citizens to face potential displacement.
