On November 23 and 25 Israeli settlers from Havat Ma’on hammered in the
ground three meters high iron pylons at the edge of the wood inside of
which the illegal Israeli outpost is located, keeping on the ongoing
expansion.
Some days before, on November 13, the same settlers
(equipped with a white jeep carrying an electricity generator, a drill
and cement) had already dug 10 cm diameter holes in the surrounding
boundary.

In both occasions South Hebron Hills Popular Committee
members and B’tselem operators called the DCO to denounce the illegal
works, but Israeli forces didn’t show up.

During the last month
in the South Hebron Hills area, Israeli forces carried out several
demolitions in the Palestinian village of Um Al Kher and seized
materials in the Palestinian village of Susiya. In the meanwhile they
have not taken any measure to stop an illegal expansion of an illegal
Israeli outpost.

Nevertheless the Palestinian communities of the
South Hebron Hills area are still strongly committed to nonviolent
popular resistance against the Israeli occupation.
