BETHLEHEM: Israeli colonists set up a number of utility poles in the Tuqu’ wilderness, southeast of Bethlehem, in preparation for establishing a new colonial outpost.

The director of the Office of the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission in Bethlehem, Hassan Barijiyah, told WAFA correspondent that colonists, protected by the Israeli occupation forces, installed utility poles in the ‘Fathura’ area in the Tuqu’ Wilderness, in preparation for establishing a new colonial outpost, near ‘Takwa’, which is a settlement located on citizens’ lands.

It is noteworthy that the occupation forces and colonists escalated their attacks in the Tuqu’ wilderness area, by pursuing farmers, demolishing their agricultural rooms and tents, and seizing their contents.
