The West Bank: Settlers are taking over houses in Deir al-Tahta, west of Jericho, says al-Baider Hassan Malihat, the general inspector of al-Baider in Jericho, said that the settlers seized the houses under the pretext of purchasing them. The houses are located near the city center, which causes concern for nearby areas and residents and the creation of a settlement neighborhood. They were built on lands classified as C that are adjacent to lands classified as A. Israeli forces are present to protect the settlers.
