The Jewish National Fund has completed groundwork for the establishment of “Etzion Gimmel,” a new settlement to be situated 2.5 kilometers north of the Etzion Bloc, between Jerusalem and Hebron. Work on preparing the infrastructure for the first 24 houses began in July with the blazing of a road from the Bloc to the new site. JNF officials said this road was only a temporary approach, and that later a wider road would be built linking Etzion Gimmel to the other settlements in the Bloc.
