Occupied Quds – Saba:
Zionist enemy forces raided several villages and towns in the Nablus governorate on Tuesday, while Zionist settlers established a new colonial outpost in Al-Ma’rajat area, northwest of the occupied Palestinian city of Jericho.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), local sources reported that several Zionist military vehicles stormed the village of Qaryut, the town of Beita south of Nablus, and the town of Beit Furik to the east, firing sound grenades and tear gas, sparking clashes.
In a separate development, Zionist settlers set up a new colonial outpost in the Al-Ma’rajat area, northwest of Jericho—the fifth of its kind along the Al-Ma’rajat road.
Hassan Malihat, the general supervisor of "Al-Bidar" organization for the defense of Bedouin rights, confirmed on Tuesday that Zionist settlers had erected a tent, brought in water tanks and an electric generator days earlier, and began fencing the site in preparation for turning it into a settlement—a recurring scene across various parts of the West Bank.
Eyewitnesses from the nearby Arab Al-Malihat community stated that the outpost was established under the protection of Zionist enemy soldiers, with excavation and leveling equipment installed as settlers began setting up iron fences.
They added that the new outpost reflects a "comprehensive settlement scheme" aimed at controlling a vital corridor separating Jericho from the central West Bank, further restricting Palestinian movement between the northern and southern regions.
Witnesses emphasized that what is happening is a "gradual Nakba" (catastrophe) carried out without bulldozers or direct displacement, yet it is no less dangerous than mass expulsion tactics. They warned that the settlement project seeks to dismantle Bedouin communities and force them into displacement.
