The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) built new housing units in Negohot settlement established on Palestinian land South of Al-Khalil. Eyewitnesses told the PIC on Tuesday that construction works were ongoing in the Southern and Western areas of Negohot. They said that the expansion work included the building of ten new housing units. The IOA recently endorsed the establishment of 850 new housing units in West Bank settlements, mostly in Al-Khalil governorate, especially after the re-launch of PA-Israeli negotiations, which served as a cover for expanding settlement activity.
