Families have moved into the rebuilt West Bank settlement of Ganim, 21 years after it was evacuated. According to The Times of Israel, around two dozen prefabricated homes have been installed, with construction ongoing.
The move has been met with resistance from nearby Palestinian villages. In the village of Qusra, Israeli troops have taken up positions inside Palestinian homes, with the mayor saying that six homes have been evacuated and taken over by Israeli soldiers.
The situation in Qusra has been tense, with settlers besieging three homes, including one owned by a Palestinian American, and the US ambassador to Israel condemning the actions of the Jewish settlers.
