Arabs from the village of Nabei Salah near Yishuv N’vei Tzuf in the western sector of the Binyamin Regional Council of Shomron are illegally squatting on land in that area.

They took over a piece of land near the yishuv about two months ago, officials from the Regavim organization report. They first just maintained a presence but they have since began farming. After Regavim filed complaints, the Civil Administration moved in and prevented them from working the fields.

However, since the beginning of the week they have resumed working and no one is stopping them from creating facts on the ground. Regavim reports the area is designated as area “C” under the Oslo Agreement, under total Israeli control.
