West Bank settlements grow during war on Lebanon
By: Ahmed Hammadi
HELD JERUSALEM: A watchdog group said that with media
attention focused on the Lebanon war, Israeli wildcat
settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank have mushroomed
in recent months.
Some 31 outposts sprang up in the West Bank as work on
developing infrastructure, access routes as well as the
installation of new mobile homes has steamed ahead in
violation of the internationally backed roadmap for peace, the
anti-settlement Peace Now watchdog said.
There are 105 wildcat outposts in the occupied West Bank
according to official data.
Under the terms of the roadmap, Israel was meant to freeze all
settlement construction in the West Bank.
According to statistics published by the interior ministry
last month the number of Israelis living in the occupied West
Bank, excluding annexed east Jerusalem, has increased by 2.7
percent to 260,042 during the past six months.
