Nablus, ALRAY - A group of colonial Israeli settlers rebuilt on Sunday evening an illegal settler outpost on swathes of Palestinian land in Jurish village in the northern occupied West Bank city of Nablus.

The settlers tried to place mobile homes in the area last Friday before local Palestinian residents confronted them and prevented them from doing so.

On Sunday night, the Israeli occupation army dismantled an illegal outpost in the village, according to Israeli media outlets.

There are nearly 600,000 Israeli settlers living in at least 256 illegal settlements and outposts scattered across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Israeli settlements are illegal under international law.
