Jewish settlers established a new settlement outpost on land owned by Palestinians in Taku village, east of Bethlehem, on Tuesday.
Tayseer Abu Mifreh, the municipality chief in the village, told Quds Press that Jewish settlers drove out Palestinian farmers from their land after assaulting them with the help of Israeli occupation forces.
He said that the farmers were surprised to find a number of mobile houses present on their land on Tuesday morning, adding that settlers from the nearby Nokdim settlement were the ones to establish the new outpost.
Abu Mifreh said that his village inhabitants are constantly attacked by Nokdim settlers, adding they are notorious for their brutality and ceaseless attacks.
The resigned Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman lives in Nokdim settlement.
