12 mobile homes for Amona settlers placed near illegal settlement

Friday 20-January-2017

The Mateh Binyamin regional council which is responsible for 42 illegal Israeli settlements and outposts in the West Bank has placed 12 mobile homes near Ofra settlement for the Amona settlers.

According to Haaretz newspaper on Friday these makeshift homes were sited illegally in order to accommodate the settlers who will be evacuated from the illegal outpost of Amona.

It claimed that the Israeli army’s civil administration might take a measure against this step.

Amona outpost was supposed to be evacuated last December 2016 according to a court order but the Israeli government managed to extract a verdict from the high court of justice delaying the evacuation until early February.

The Israeli government is trying nowadays to illegally seize Palestinian-owned lands near the outpost in order to establish homes on them for Amona settlers.
