(Ha'aretz) - Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer's adviser on settlements, Yarden Vatikay, has denied international press reports about the establishment of a new settlement in the territories. A ceremony marking the inauguration of the first neighborhood with permanent housing in the 10-year-old Samarian Jewish village of Rachelim was held Wednesday, which allows 14 of the village's 24 families to move out of trailers and into new houses. Rachelim was founded to commemorate two residents of the nearby village of Shiloh who were killed in a terror attack in 1991.
