Some 200 Palestinian-Arabs set up a new outpost Saturday in Beit Iksa, northwest of Jerusalem.
"We have settled on the lands of the Beit Iksa village to prevent its confiscation by the Israeli army," Osama Zayed, one of the organizers, told AFP.
The Arabs erected four tents since Friday and were building a structure to serve as a mosque.
The Israeli army was monitoring the developments, but on Saturday had no comment on the activities.
