"Early on in the nearly three-year Palestinian uprising, the Israeli occupation army reoccupied Hebron, most of which it had handed over to Palestinian control in 1997 .."
RAMALLAH, West Bank - Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have set up two military outposts in the southern West Bank town of Hebron, detained a senior Jihad activist in the northern town of Qalqilia, barred 11 Swedish-passport holders from leaving Gaza and will deport a Scot.
The IOF outposts were set up in the neighborhoods of Abu Sneineh and Harat al-Sheikh - areas that overlook the illegally built Jewish settler enclaves in the Israeli-occupied downtown sector.
Early on in the nearly three-year Palestinian uprising, the Israeli occupation army reoccupied Hebron, most of which it had handed over to Palestinian control in 1997.
The IOF did not immediately comment on the two new outposts, set up as Palestinians and Israelis try to fulfill a US-backed peace plan that calls for an end to the violence and Palestinian statehood within three years.
