Israeli extremists, last night, spray-painted racist graffiti on the walls of ar-Rahma Islamic cemetery, outside Jerusalem’s Old City, according to local sources.
Shortly after Islamic Waqf personnel discovered the anti-Arab graffiti, the sources added that they attempted to remove it, but were prevented from continuing their work by Israeli police.
Meanwhile, some 50 Palestinian women protested on Thursday morning at the gates leading to Al Aqsa Mosque, after they were denied entry to the holy site by Israeli police. Police earlier allowed Jewish fanatics to resume their provocative visits to the Islamic holy site.
Violence by specific groups of illegal Jewish settlers is commonplace, WAFA reports. They have repeatedly attacked Palestinian property and worship places. Settlers violence includes property and mosque arsons, stone-throwing, uprooting of crops and olive trees, attacks on vulnerable homes, among others.
On July 31, a group of Jewish fanatics killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsha and seriously injured his entire family, during a predawn arson attack which targeted two homes in the village of Douma, south of Nablus.
The baby’s father, Sa’ad Dawabsheh, died of his wounds at an Israeli hospital about a week later, while his mother, Riham, 27, died of her wounds within a month after the incident.
According to OCHA Protection of civilians Weekly report covering the period between 18 and 24 of august 2015, “Five Israeli settler attacks resulting in injury to Palestinians or property damage were recorded, including the stoning and injury of a six-year-old girl and vandalism to a souvenir shop, both near Al Ibrahimi Mosque in the Israeli-controlled H2 area of Hebron city.”
Al-Haq human right organization stated that, “Attacks by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank against members of the Palestinian population and their property are an extensive, long-term, and worsening phenomenon.”

The so-called Temple Mount Organization urged its backers to partake in mass desecration break-ins at Muslims’ holy al-Aqsa Mosque on the occasion of the Jewish new year.
The organization said the break-ins will be escorted by armed police officers and that Muslim sit-inners and Quran learners will be banned from entering the Mosque for a long period of time.
Meanwhile, Israeli police have tightened military grip around holy al-Aqsa Mosque, cordoning it off with metal barriers and cracking down on the Muslim worshipers, particularly women.
Israeli policemen deployed in the vicinity of the holy site reportedly seized the access permits of four children from al-Khalil’s Yatta town.
Head of the Jerusalem Affairs Department Ahmad Qurei warned of the serious repercussions of Israeli intents to divide the Mosque between Muslims and Israelis as it did in the Ibrahimi Mosque, in al-Khalil.
He further spoke out against Israel’s exploitation of regional turmoil to step up Judaization schemes at al-Aqsa and hold sway over the holy site.
Qurei voiced firm rebuff of a decision by Moshe Yaalon, the Israeli war minister, to ban Muslim sit-inners and Quran learners from al-Aqsa, branding the decision “racist” and a barefaced proof of preplanned "state terrorism".
He called on Arabs, Muslims, and the international community to firmly support the Palestinians and al-Aqsa against Israel’s sacrilegious plots.

Madama Village
A group young Palestinian men managed, earlier on Friday at dawn, to foil an attempt by a number of Israeli extremists to carry out an attack in Madama village, near the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
The WAFA News Agency has reported that the Palestinians noticed an unusual activity, shortly after 2 after midnight, when they saw a short, bearded armed man wearing a cap, monitoring some homes in the village, and alerted the families.
The infiltrator ran away after realizing his presence became known; he was hiding in an area where a wedding of a villager was held, on Thursday at night.
Just seconds later, an Israeli car that was parked near the local graveyard, sped in his direction, picked him up and drove towards a settlement road.
The WAFA News Agency said the villagers conducted a search campaign, to make sure the area is clear of infiltrators .
Many villages in the Nablus district have witnessed escalating attacks by Israeli extremists, and soldiers, over the last few months, including burning and attempting to burn homes and property, in addition to throwing stones on homes and cars.
One of the ugliest recent crimes, carried out by Israeli terrorists, was the August 30th firebomb attack on the Dawabsha family home, in Douma village near Nablus.
The attack led to the death a baby identified as Ali Dawabsha, 18 months of age, who was burnt to death, while his father Sa'ad Dawabsha, and his mother Reham Dawabsha, died later of their severe burns.
His brother Ahmad suffered burns to various parts of his body, and is still receiving treatment at an Israeli hospital.
On Wednesday at dawn, September 9, a group of Israeli fanatics burnt Palestinian olive orchards belonging to residents of Burin village, south of Nablus.
On Tuesday evening, three Palestinians were injured after Israeli extremists hurled stones on their car, while driving back home in Jenin after paying their respect at the mourning home of the Dawabsha family in Nablus.
On Tuesday morning, a Palestinian teenager was attacked by a number of Israeli extremists, while heading to work in West Jerusalem, and suffered various cuts and bruises.
On Monday at night, a group of Israeli extremists hurled stones on a Palestinian home in Deir Estia town, west of the central West Bank city of Salfit, causing property damage and anxiety attacks among the children.

About 13% more people chose to immigrate to Israel in the previous Jewish year than the one before it. The largest numbers came from France (7,350), Ukraine (6,868), and Russia (5,900).
About 29,500 new olim immigrated to Israel from 97 different countries in the past Jewish year – a rise of about 13 percent when compared to the year before (26,000). This, according to statistics published Wednesday by the ministry of immigrant absorption and the Jewish agency, ahead of Rosh Hashanah.
Most olim in the previous Jewish year came from former USSR states (about 14,100) and Europe (over 9,000). North America saw about 3,600 olim leave for Israel, with 1,200 coming from Latin America. The two leading countries as far as number of olim are France (7,350) and Ukraine (6,900). The number of olim from Russia grew by 23 percent, to 5,900. About 690 olim came from Britain, 400 from Italy, and around 290 from Belgium.
Thousands of these new olim are academics and young people whose aliyah was arranged through special projects run by the immigrant absorption ministry and the Jewish agency. Around 3,000 of the olim have training and/or experience in the technology and engineering fields, and over 1,000 are doctors or other medical professionals. Around 70 percent of the olim from the past Jewish year were under the age of 44, and they include about 7,800 who are 19 and under, and about 12,000 between the ages of 20-44.
There were six countries from which just one ole came to Israel in the past Jewish year: Angola, Andorra, Namibia, Slovakia, The Philippines, and Paraguay. The largest wave of olim (about 8,350) came to Israel during the summer months. The three most popular destination cities for olim were Tel Aviv (about 3,500), Netanya (3,400), and Jerusalem (3,000).
"These figures, showing a significant rise in number of olim, corroborate the overall idea that 2015 is turning out to be this decade's record year as far as number of olim," said Minister of Immigrant Absorption Ze'ev Elkin, "We estimate that at this rate, we will reach 30,000-35,000 by the end of 2015. This is a window of opportunity that Israel must not miss. We stand before a fascinating challenge and must both take care of absorbing (the olim) in the best way, and increase activities that promote aliyah."
Jewish Agency Chairperson Natan Sharansky said, "In recent years, the vast majority of olim are coming from democratic states. These olim's free choice to live in Israel, and preference for it over other countries, is the real victory of Zionism."

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) announced its intents to close the Ibrahimi Mosque in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil before Muslim worshipers for three separate days starting on Monday, under the religious pretext.
Al-Khalil’s Endowment Department said in a press statement the IOA announced its decision to ban all Muslim worshipers from getting into the al-Ibrahimi Mosque beginning Monday, September 14, so as to pave the way for settlers’ sacrilegious break-ins with the advent of the Jewish Passover.
The IOA are also set to seal off the holy shrine before Muslims on Thursday, September 17, on the occasion of the so-called Repentance holiday.
The Endowment Department slammed the ban, dubbing it a flagrant assault on the sanctity of Muslims’ places of worship and religious freedom.
The mosque was divided into Muslim and Jewish sections by the Israeli government's Shamgar Committee after a 1994 massacre that killed dozens of Muslim worshipers and left others wounded.
Since then, the IOA has violated Muslim rights in the Ibrahimi Mosque under the pretext of Jewish holidays and restricted Muslims from praying in the mosque. The Israeli occupation officials have also prevented the call to prayer for the evening and night worship times.

The occupation forces continued on Thursday the siege on Al-Aqsa Mosque concurrently with a racist decision classifying the Marabouts at Al-Aqsa as a “terrorist organization”.
The so-called Minister of Defense, Moshe Yaalon, issued a decision yesterday considering the Marabouts at Al-Aqsa Mosque as “illegal organizations” as recommended by the intelligence service “Shabak” and the Israeli police. Yaalon’s decision prohibits the activities of Marabouts and any activities carried out by them will subject them to “legal prosecutions” under the pretext of disturbing public security at Al-Aqsa through obstructing the settlers’ break-ins to Al-Aqsa and creating problems”. The occupation recently escalated targeting the Muslim worshippers at Al-Aqsa and the forces started preventing everybody but the elderly from entering, and then created a list of 20 women that are barred from entering |
the Mosque. Within a week, new names were added to the list and reached 52 names following an order from the Old City’s officer.
The list known as the “Black List” is distributed over all of Al-Aqsa gates and anybody whose name is in that list is prevented from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque from the morning hours until 2:30 p.m.
The list known as the “Black List” is distributed over all of Al-Aqsa gates and anybody whose name is in that list is prevented from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque from the morning hours until 2:30 p.m.
The Defense Minister confirmed the statement on two different occasions, stating that no arrests had been made in order to avoid exposing intelligence sources in court.
Security forces know who was behind the deadly arson attack in Duma last month, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon confirmed during a meeting of the Likud youth branch Tuesday.
Ya'alon was asked whether security forces had apprehended those responsible for the Jewish terrorist attack which killed three members of the Dawabsheh family, to which he answered, "We know who is responsible, but we will not expose those findings in order to protect our intelligence sources."
Ya'alon arrived at the ceremony, a festive event welcoming the New Year with the Likud youth, and referred to the incident which shocked the whole country.
"We are facing difficulties in establishing solid evidence," Ya'alon said to the attendees. "Right now we are not prosecuting those responsible in order to not expose our intelligence sources in court."
Ya'alon reaffirmed his comments during a Thursday a briefing at the Kirya military base, which centered on the lack of progress made in the Shin Bet investigation. He compared the current situation faced by the defense establishment to attempts at solving the investigations of two terrorist attacks in the early 1990s, which were thought to have been carried out by terrorists from the Popular Front during his time as commander of the Judea and Samarea division.
"We didn’t have enough evidence at that point to charge them, even though we know that they had carried out the attacks," he said. "So we arrested 59 members of the Popular Front who lived in the Ramallah area, and placed them in an extended six month administrative detention, and they were released after two years," he added.
"The attacks stopped immediately after the arrests, but resumed soon after their release. We won't stop our efforts to gather the evidence which will lead to indictments of those responsible for the Duma attack," Ya'alon concluded. Naser Dawabsheh, a member of the family, responded to the statement saying, "Ya'alon's statement is not justified, Israel must immediately expose the murderers. They burned the whole society and not just Duma."
Dawabsheh continued to say, "I know the attack was a major incident for Israel, and that Israel wants to arrest them in order to show the world that it is a country which chases and apprehends murderers." But he also added that, "Even if they will be arrested, what will happen then? The court will just say they are crazy, and they will live out their lives in some hotel like the murderers of Mohamed Abu- Khdeir."
Member of Knesset Aida Toma-Suleiman (Joint Arab List) reacted to Ya'alon's comments saying, "The Minister of Defense, who left the Dawabsheh family to die, continues his flagrant scornful attitude by saying that they will not prosecute the criminal murderers - in order to not expose their sources."
The Joint List MK continued to say, "Would it even be possible to think that the defense establishment would act the same way if a Jewish family was murdered. Ya'alon's remarks confirm the forgiving attitude within the system towards settler terrorism, which allows for the next murder." The Dawabsheh family home was set alight on July 31st. An initial investigation revealed that masked men threw Molotov cocktails into two homes, and spray painted "Long live the messiah king," and "revenge" in Hebrew on the walls.
The Dawabsheh family was staying in one of the homes, while the other was vacant. The family woke up as a result of the fire, and tried to escape the flames with two of their children, four-year-old Ahmed and eighteen-month-old Ali. The family managed to escape, however infant Ali died as a result of his burns. Saed Dawabsheh, Ali's father, succumbed to his injures a week later. Ali's mother, Reham fought for her life for over a month, but she too succumbed to her wounds on Sunday. The condition of the family's eldest son, Ahmed, has improved slightly in recent weeks, but he continues to be treated in the intensive care unit at Beer Sheva's Soroka hospital.
Reham's funeral took place in Duma, with 2000 people in attendance. Marchers at her funeral procession could be heard chanting, "Oh, Hamas, oh, al Qassam, attack them, the blood of the martyrs is calling you," while others yelled "Stop the criminals and murderers."
Hussien, Reham's father, protested the lack of arrests made in the case. According to him. "There is no such thing as not finding them. It's not my job; it’s the Shin bet's. A whole family died here." According to the Dawabsheh family, they have yet to be updated on the progress of the situation in light of multiple requests to the relevant officials.

The occupation police released the 17-year old Khalil Raed Abu Tayeh on condition of isolation from the Old City of Jerusalem for one week.
The child explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center that a settler attacked him while walking in Al-Wad Street in the Old City of Jerusalem and within a few moments he was surrounded and arrested by the occupation forces under the pretext of “assaulting a settler”.
Abu Tayeh added that the settler attacked him and hit him directly on his eye and he tried to defend himself but the forces arrested and assaulted him.
The Center’s lawyer explained that the police accused the child of assaulting a settler and released him on condition of isolation from the Old City of Jerusalem while allowing him to go to school if accompanied by one of his parents for one week in addition to the need of attending an interrogation next week.
The lawyer added that the interrogator tried to completely isolate him from the Old City of Jerusalem for one week and prevent him from going to school but he refused that especially that Abu Tayeh is a student in a secondary school and any absence from school will negatively affect him.

30 Jewish settlers stormed on Wednesday evening Beit Eanoun area in a town in northern al-Khalil. Meanwhile, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) erected three military checkpoints at the city's entrances.
The Jewish settlers were escorted by Israeli patrols including troops of Israeli border guards and police in addition to ambulances.
The settlers roamed the area, for three hours, in civil customs while some of them had guns. They entered Palestinians’ fields planted with grapes and almonds before they had moved to another area close to the entrance of another nearby village.
In a similar context, the IOF soldiers erected on Wednesday evening three military makeshifts in northern al-Khalil and stopped Palestinians’ cars for searching purposes.
The PIC reporter revealed that Israeli soldiers stopped Palestinians at road sides and erected three barriers at the entrances of Beit Ummar town, Saeer town and al-Aroub refugee camp.
Israeli forces have been setting up military makeshifts every now and then at different entrances of al-Khalil city amid a status of alert among Israelis.

52 women prevented from entering Al-Aqsa…and the occupation isolates a young man from Al-Aqsa Mosque
The occupation authorities continue to prevent women from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque under the pretext of “creating problems” during settlers’ break-ins, and the occupation police isolated one young man from Al-Aqsa Mosque for six months.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center was informed that 22 settlers broke into Al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday protected by the occupation police while women listed in the “black list” were prevented from entering the Mosque. The women barred from entering explained that the list is growing day by day and reached 52 on Wednesday including elderly, journalists and girls.
Witnesses explained that the forces detained the men’s IDs before allowing them to enter Al-Aqsa.
The Israeli forces attempted to arrest Aida Sidawi while the municipality’s crews attempted to issue her a ticket for “throwing garbage on the ground”. The forces still attempt to provoke the women every now and then and try to assault them by pushing them to prevent them from staying at Al-Aqsa gates.
In a related matter, the occupation police isolated on Tuesday Akram Shurafa from Al-Aqsa Mosque for six months as ordered by the Chief of Police.
Shurafa explained that the police called him for interrogation at Al-Qishleh police station and handed him the isolation order.
He also explained that the occupation isolated him for two years from Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem under the pretext of “security reasons” and pointed out that the prosecution submitted two indictments against him; one for violating the military order of being deported from Jerusalem and the other for violating the isolation order from Al-Aqsa.

The Jabari family in occupied al-Khalil (Hebron) is again facing threats of settlers taking over their land, as the settlers again trespassed onto the land this weekend to conduct prayer ceremonies, according to local human rights observers with the International Solidarity Movement.
The family owns a piece of land sandwiched between the illegal settlement of Kiryat Arba and the Israeli police station Givat Ha’vot. Settlers built a synagogue tent on the land, but the Israeli Supreme Court made a decision late 2014 that the tent was illegal, and had to be removed by January 2015. The tent was never removed from the land, and instead, Israeli soldiers continually accompany settlers as they frequently enter the land and conduct prayers there. In addition, over the past nine months Israeli settlers from the illegal colony of Kiryat Arba have frequently attacked the Jabari family -- with complete impunity and often under the protection of Israeli soldiers. |
In addition to the Jabari family, the settlers have also attacked other alestinians living in the neighbourhood and human rights observers.
The area is now declared a closed military zone, so the settlers coming to pray there are illegally trespassing, according to Israeli law.
Still, according to the International Solidarity Movement, they were protected by Israeli forces refusing to interfere. The case involving settlers taking over this land has been dragged on in court since 2000, which keeps the family from actually using their own land.

The tent was unoccupied at the time of the attack and no one was hurt. The Shin Bet says one of the suspects, Avi Gafni, 'is a member of a Jewish terror group.'
An indictment has been served against two right-wing Jewish extremists, one of whom is a minor, for an arson attack on a Bedouin tent in the West Bank in August. The Hebrew word for "revenge" was also spray-painted near the site of the attack.
Three suspects, including two minors, were questioned over the incident. According to a gag order lifted Monday, Avi Gafni, 19, and one of the minors were indicted on charges of incitement, threats, conspiring to commit a felony, and perverting the course of justice.
The tent, located near Ramallah, was unoccupied at the time of the attack and no one was hurt. The Hebrew word for "administrative," presumably referring to the recent administrative detention of right-wing activists, and a Magen David were also spray-painted on a stone nearby.
The two teens and an adult man from the Baladim outpost, a satellite outpost of the West Bank's Kochav Hashachar settlement, were arrested and taken to a Shin Bet security services facility for questioning.
The Shin Bet said Monday that Gafni, who is originally from the southern Israeli city of Beit Shemesh, is "a violent 'hilltop' activist and a member of a Jewish terror group, which is behind attacks."
"Hilltop Youth" is a term used to refer to hardline nationalists settlers.
Gafni has been living in the Baladim outpost. He had been under administrative order to leave the West Bank a number of times "in light of information that pointed to his involvement in, and carrying out of, a number of incidents of arson against property and religious sites of Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem."
At the time of the attack, Ouday Kaaba, the tent owner's son, told Haaretz, "Just last week we left the tent for a place at a nearby hill because of the heat. Fortunately for us, no one was inside the tent when it was set on fire, otherwise the whole family would have burned."
According to Kaaba, the tent housed eight people, including children. He said the incident occurred late at night, and that they only discovered the damage when they arrived at the scene in the morning. Kaaba said the family stored animal feed for their herd and a lot of property.

Dozens of Israeli settlers on Monday stormed al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards from al-Magharba gate under Israeli police heavy protection.
However, a number of Palestinian sit-inners, who have been maintaining vigil at the holy Mosque, kept chanting “Allah the Greatest” in protest at the sacrilegious break-in, according to eyewitnesses.
"A Jewish settler provocatively performed Talmudic prayers out loud," the eyewitnesses said, adding that Israeli policemen have arrested a female sit-inner and transferred her to Qishleh investigation center.
They also highlighted that some Palestinian women are still blacklisted and banned from entering al-Aqsa Mosque under pretext of hindering the settlers' visits to the Mosque.
The Israeli policemen have also attacked the youth Mahmoud Idris, 20, close to al-Majlis gate causing him several bruises in his foot without revealing reasons.

Hamas Movement has called on the resistance members in the West Bank to carry out military operations against the Israeli occupation so as to deter its violations and to put an end to the settlers' continued assaults once and for all.
Hamas spokesman Husam Badran said in a statement on Monday: "We are confident that our Palestinian people will never submit, and the resistance in the West Bank will never surrender. We are looking forward to confronting the Israeli occupation in the West Bank; so as to change the facts on the ground."
Badran stressed that the Israeli settlers' arson attack against Dawabsheh family which led to the death of 18-month-old toddler Ali Dawabsheh, his father, and his mother is a clear evidence of the malicious systematic policy pursued by Israeli soldiers and settlers against the Palestinian people.
This policy is aimed at killing, displacing, and terrorizing the Palestinian people in order to deter them from exercising their legitimate right of resisting the occupation, according to Badran.
The spokesman finally said that it has become crystal clear that the international positions have failed to protect the Palestinians from the Israeli violations. "The Palestinians in the WB have to use their resistance means to fight against the Israeli occupation on their own," Badran said.

Jewish settlers attempted Sunday morning to perform Talmudic rituals at the plazas of the Aqsa Mosque. However, the Jerusalemite guards of the Muslims’ holy site prevented the act by informing the Israeli police.
Eyewitnesses revealed that a Jewish settler along with a tourist woman who knows Hebrew language tried to perform Talmudic rituals at the Aqsa Mosque but the guards informed the Israeli policemen who made them leave the holy site in order to avoid tension.
25 members of Israeli Special Forces escorted the settlers on their way out of the Mosque. Israeli policemen, for their part, confiscated the IDs of Palestinian women and youths in addition to a number of elderly men at the entry gates of the Aqsa Mosque.
Earlier in the morning, 43 Jewish settlers stormed the holy site under tightened security measures. Two of the Israeli intelligence forces broke into the Mosque amid pro-Aqsa chanting by Palestinians who confronted the Israeli incursions.
The forces stationed at the various gates of the Aqsa Mosque barred Jerusalemite student girls from accessing their schools. They also prevented the entry of two girl students into their school unless one of their teachers came and walked them to school.
Both of the girls were arrested one week ago and released under the condition of deportation away from the Aqsa Mosque for two weeks except for entering the school which is located within the Aqsa Mosque. 40 Jerusalemite women are still barred from entering the holy site. The women, however, are staging a sit-in outside of the Mosque.
One of the barred women, called Hanadi al-Halawani, said that Israeli forces besieged them with iron barriers, chased some of them and tried to arrest another. The forces also beat up a group of Turkish women who approached the besieged Jerusalemites to show their solidarity.

A number of Palestinian workers at dawn Sunday sustained injuries and bruises after they were aggressively attacked by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in the southern West Bank province of al-Khalil.
A PIC news reporter quoted local sources as stating that the IOF violently assaulted a group of Palestinian workers in al-Khalil’s town of Yatta while on their way to the 1948 occupied territories.
The IOF reportedly stepped up arbitrary arrests across the West Bank, kidnapping two Palestinians in the early morning hours allegedly for "possessing" guns.
According to anti-settlement activist Mohamed Awad, IOF soldiers rolled into Beit Ummar and wreaked havoc on Palestinian civilian homes before they kidnapped the youngster Ziad al-Ajouri.
The other youth, identified as Fouad al-Nawaj’a, was also kidnapped from his family home in Yatta town.
The campaign culminated in the abduction of a Palestinian youngster at a military checkpoint pitched at the entrance to al-Za’yem village, in southern Occupied Jerusalem.
The unidentified arrestee was dragged to a detention center in Occupied Jerusalem pending further interrogation.
Meanwhile, sources based in Bethlehem city, said the Israeli occupation army nabbed the young men Mahmoud Naser al-Badawneh and Abdul Hadi Shakarna.
Earlier, overnight, Israeli vandals residing in the illegal Beit Hadassa settlement, in al-Khalil, attacked the Palestinian youth Ayman al-Fakhury and pepper sprayed him.
The casualty was rushed to al-Khalil’s public hospital for urgent treatment shortly afterwards.

Palestinian citizens from four villages to the west of Salfit have complained that Jewish settlers persist in annexing their agricultural lands and bulldozing them without stop.
Eyewitnesses said that heavy construction machinery were seen preparing a vast tract of land west of Salfit for the establishment of a service infrastructure for the illegal settlement of Leshem, including water, sewerage, electricity and telephone systems.
Specialist in settlement affairs Khaled Ma'ali stated that the towns of Kafr Addik, Sarta, Rafat, and Deir Ballut suffer from the ongoing expansion of Leshem settlement at the expense of their agricultural lands.
Ma'ali added that Leshem settlement used to be an outpost before it was declared in 2013 by the Israeli government as a settlement, affirming that another 24 settlements and outposts keep devouring different Palestinian areas in Salfit province.
In a related incident, Jewish settlers from Beit Aryeh recently embarked on bulldozing about 200 dunums of Palestinian land in order to expand their settlement, which is located northeast of Deir Ballut town in Salfit.
A Palestinian farmer from the town reported that an Israeli bulldozer driver told him that he was preparing the area for the expansion of Beit Aryeh settlement and the construction of a Jewish cemetery.

Israeli soldiers and police officers prevented, Sunday, more than 40 Palestinian women from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in occupied Jerusalem, and accompanied dozens of Israeli extremists during their provocative tours in the mosque compound.
The soldiers distributed a list of names of 40 Palestinian women, who are denied access into the mosque, for trying to stop the repeated violations against the holy site, the WAFA News Agency said.
Soldiers also tried to abduct a young woman, but the Palestinians managed to overcome the large number of officers, and freed her.
WAFA said the police installed iron barriers, closing the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, before distributing the list, an issue that pushed the women to protest in front of the Chain Gate.
