Israeli media affiliated with Palestinian sources report that occupation forces have erected a tent and flags on Jabal Tarousa west of Dura (Hebron District), after a ceremony there attended by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The event, described by Palestinian channels as the establishment of an unauthorized outpost, has drawn criticism locally.
Palestinian media channels reported that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich held a ceremony on Tuesday on Jabal Tarousa, a hill west of Dura in the Hebron District, during which an Israeli flag was raised and a tent was set up. The Palestinian reports describe the act as the establishment of an unauthorized outpost and accuse the occupation forces of continuing to encroach on the area. The event has not been confirmed by official Israeli sources or by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, and no independent reports have yet verified the nature of the tent or the presence of settlers. The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this specific location or outpost activity.
