Illegal settlers have confiscated land in northern Nablus, occupied West Bank, to relocate the unauthorized colonial outpost of “Homesh” with support from Yoav Gallant and Bezalel Smotrich, without issuing official building permits.

Ghassan Daglas, the official in charge of the settlement affairs in northern the West Bank, said that a bulldozer owned by settlers cleared the lands on which the evacuated Homesh settlement was established in 2005. Settlers aim to establish a religious school in the evacuated settlement. 

The Israeli occupation forces existing in the land prevented the Palestinian farmers from reaching it, in preparation of the settlers’ return.
