WORK HAS BEGUN on the expansion of the Nof Tzion settlement in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Jabal Mukkaber, which upon completion will make it the largest Jewish settlement within a Palestinian neighbourhood in the city.
Nof Tzion was established by Jewish investors in the early 2000s and the residents moved in eight years ago, with currently 96 families living in two compounds.
The neighbourhood is considered relatively well off and the apartments face the Old City, however, it is surrounded on all sides by the large Palestinian neighborhood of Jabal Mukkaber.
