Settlers establish new settlement in northern West Bank named 'Givat Shomron'

Northern West Bank, Palestine ·

Settlers established a new settlement on Wednesday in the northern occupied West Bank, naming it 'Givat Shomron'. A group of graduates from a Jewish religious school in Ramat Gan took part in founding it.

Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are considered illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this view. Settlement building is one of the central points of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
