Defense Ministry clears minefield near settlement, pledges new housing on site

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman says a minefield has been cleared near the settlement of Karnei Shomron, paving the way for the expansion of the Jewish West Bank community.

A special Defense Ministry unit “cleared a decades-old minefield near Karnei Shomron and soon, instead of the minefield, we will build new housing units in Karnei Shomron,” Liberman says on Twitter.
