Israel Designates Over 6,000 Ha of Palestinian Land for Military Use near Jenin
The Israeli military orders allow for the seizure of land in the West Bank for military purposes.
More than 6,000 hectares of land near the Palestinian town of Yabad in the northern West Bank has been designated for seizure under an Israeli military order.
The area is owned by the residents of Zabda village in the Jenin governorate and a seizure order was issued this week under the pretext of using it for military purposes until the end of 2028, according to Wafa news agency.Saleh Amarna, head of the Zabda village council, stated that the council will pursue the matter through all legal channels and exert every possible effort to overturn the order.
Israeli military orders hold executive and legislative authority, allowing Israel to administer civilian matters in the West Bank since it occupied the area in June 1967.The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories, a branch within Israel's Ministry of Defense, is responsible for implementing the orders issued by each military commander.
Additionally, there have been reports of Israeli settlers forcing a Bedouin family to leave an area west of Al-Auja village, north of Jericho, after repeated attacks and intimidation.In response to these incidents, EU foreign ministers agreed to impose new sanctions on Israeli settlers due to their violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Over 500,000 Israeli settlers reside in hundreds of illegal settlements and small outposts across the West Bank, with an additional 250,000 living in East Jerusalem.
