Jewish settlers on Thursday evening proceeded with building a new settlement outpost near the West Bank city of Nablus.
Hebrew media sources claimed that the new illegal outpost was “dedicated to the memory of the late rabbi and religious Zionist spiritual leader Haim Drukman.”
The outpost reportedly established by Drukman’s grandchild is located near the Israeli settlement of Migdalim according to the sources.
Palestinian estimates indicate there are about 650000 Jewish settlers living in 164 settlements and 116 outposts in the occupied West Bank including Jerusalem.
International law views both the West Bank and East Jerusalem as occupied territories and considers all Jewish settlement-building activities there illegal.
