Israeli bulldozers continue to level Palestinian lands in Nablus in an attempt to expand the illegal settlement outpost of Esh Kodesh built on land tracts owned by the Palestinians in Jaloud town south of the city.
Anti-settlement activist Ghassan Dughlas said settlers from Esh Kodesh continue to bulldoze land in order to establish an access road and build more settlement units in the northern zone of the outpost.
Dughlas said underway works to expand the Israeli settlements of Ahiya and Esh Kodesh fall in line with the recent measures opted for by the Netanyahu government to boost illegal settlement expansion in favor of over 1100 new settler families.
He added that Israel’s settlement bloc has been expanding on large Palestinian tracts and thus destabilizing the geo-demographic character of the occupied West Bank.
