Israeli forces seize 200 dunams of land in West Bank
Israeli occupation authorities seized roughly 200 dunams of land in the occupied West Bank’s Jenin Governorate through 15 military orders, according to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission on Wednesday.
The annexed land will primarily be used to construct and widen over 11 kilometers of military roads and establish a new military outpost in the town of Al-Yamun.
While most of the targeted land falls within Area C, three orders cover parts of Area A, a move the commission called 'a violation of the Oslo Accords intended to build infrastructure for settlement expansion,' including connecting the Noa and Emek Dotan outposts.
In the Bethlehem area, Israeli settlers, backed by military forces, expanded an outpost east of Beit Sahour by installing six new mobile homes, according to the local municipality. Officials noted the outpost occupies land previously set aside for a children's hospital.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Society also reported that Israeli Occupation Forces detained 20 Palestinians during widespread overnight raids across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including 10 from the Nablus Governorate.
Meanwhile, the Islamic Waqf Department stated that Israeli police temporarily closed the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque to secure an incursion by settlers.
