34 New West Bank Settlements Spotted
A survey published today by the Peace Now movement said that 34 new Israeli
settlement sites had been built in the West Bank since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was
elected more than a year ago.

The survey, based on aerial photographs, said the new sites were spotted at
distances ranging from a few hundred yards to nearly two miles from existing settlements.

Many of the sites are officially described as extensions of the existing communities or
new neighborhoods of those communities.
