The newspaper slammed the Israeli army for funding the new settlement’s electricity and water services while it called taking over the abandoned part of the camp by settlers as an illegal invasion of a military zone. 

According to Haaretz, the Israeli army attempted to evacuate the settlers one month ago from the new settlement, but they returned back to it and ran electricity and water services by Israeli army funding. 

It pointed out that the outposts in “Shilo valley” location were established in the nineties within a comprehensive settlement plan aiming at guaranteeing the establishment of settlements in the area located between Ariel and southern Nablus city until the Jordan valley.
