A tent and another structure were built at the outpost, located on private Palestinian land, where just last week the army removed several structures. The settlers keep to their word – instead of taking down the illegal outpost near the settlement of Carmei Tzur, they have built new structures. They, along with soldiers and their commanding officer, then had a party in the newly rebuilt structure.

Last week, several structures were removed from an outpost near the Carmei Tzur settlement which was built on private Palestinian land and which prevented Palestinians from accessing their land. Today (April 7 2015) it was discovered that a new tent and another structure where built in replacement of the removed buildings. Additionally, soldiers were brought on a military jeep to celebrate at the new structures. Carmei Tzur chair of the settlement Yehuda Vald openly declared his intention to renew the illegal construction at the outpost, declaring in an interview with Channel 7 that “it is important to say that we will not stop here, we will continue building in its place.” Indeed, this is what came to fruition.

The outpost was removed at the promise of the state after the filing of a petition by Rabbis for Human Rights‘ Attorneys Rachel Brodsky and Quamar Mishriqi-Assad on behalf of the Medaya family and other landowners against the October 2014 invasion of the outpost onto private Palestinian land.
