Gaza: Israeli colonists began expanding a colonial outpost established on lands of the village of Al-Maniya, southeast of Bethlehem, this evening.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Ahmed Kawazbeh, head of the Al-Maniya village council, reported that large trucks were seen transporting materials to set up additional mobile homes at the outpost, which had been established some time ago in the Jabal al-Qarn area. This area is adjacent to homes belonging to the al-Jabareen family.
Kawazbeh noted that colonists from the Jabal al-Qarn outpost have escalated their repeated attacks against the al-Jabareen family. These actions include opening fire, raiding their home, destroying their water network, and stealing water tanks.
He further mentioned that several days ago, the colonists expanded the outpost's boundaries by seizing additional land and fencing it off.
