The Israeli Peace Now organization on Tuesday reported that building in illegal outposts in the West Bank was accelerated during the July-August war in Lebanon. 31 outposts have seen expansion and infrastructure works and 12 outposts have even seen the construction of permanent buildings, according to Peace Now's bi-annual report, cited by Haaretz.
The report by Peace Now, whose representatives have been tracking and documenting developments in the outposts, indicates that the outposts are growing, expanding and becoming established.
Peace now reported expansion works in 31 outposts where new mobile homes, roads and infrastructure were being laid out. The organization further reported the construction of permanent buildings in 12 outposts.
Peace Now CEO Yariv Oppenheimer said that while all attention was focused on the war in the north, outpost building was accelerated.
