Tel Aviv, October 31 (RHC)-- Israel says it has retroactively "legalized" some 800 units in four settlements in the occupied West Bank. The decision which came amid heightened tensions between Israelis and Palestinians in the occupied territories had been taken two weeks ago but was reported in the Israeli media on Friday.
The units included 377 in the Yakir settlement, 187 in Itmar and 94 in Shilo in the northern West Bank, as well as 97 more in Sansana in the south of the occupied Palestinian territory, according to the Israeli interior ministry.
