Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were abruptly deployed in large numbers at the northern entrance to Nablus city on Wednesday evening.
Eyewitnesses reported that many IOF patrols arrived in the area before a bulldozer followed them and started to raze lands leading to a nearby Israeli military camp.

The Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday notified the the confiscation of Palestinian land tracts in Beit Ta’mor, east of Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank.
Anti-settlement activist Hasan Brijiyeh said the Israeli occupation distributed notices about the imminent takeover of Palestinian lands in Ta’mor for military purposes.
The targeted land owners were given no more than seven days to appeal the notifications at Israeli courts.
Brijiyeh added that such arbitrary measures represent flagrant violations of the Geneva Convention and a serious threat to the lives of Palestinians, whose lands have been engulfed by Israel’s barbed wire and military watchtowers from all sides.

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday destroyed a number of stalls belonging to Palestinian farmers near Beit Ummar town in al-Khalil.
Activist Mohammed Awad said that the IOF, after destroying the stalls, seized large quantities of fruits and vegetables.
A similar incident was witnessed about two weeks ago in another area in al-Khalil. The IOF soldiers claim such measures are taken for security reasons and that Palestinian farmers' stalls obstruct the movement of Israeli settlers.

The Israeli District Court in occupied Jerusalem green-lighted in a ruling issued Tuesday evening the legalization of the Mitzpe Kramim settlement, illegally built on a Palestinian-owned land in the central West Bank city of Ramallah.
Using a policy known as “market regulation,” Judge Arnon Darel ruled that the outpost built without the necessary permits need not be razed because the settlers erected the community “in good faith” and have rights to the property, Israeli media sources reported.
The sources considered the ruling as an unprecedented legal tactic that could pave the way for regulating dozens of other illegal settlements in occupied West Bank.
Israel’s ultranationalist justice minister Ayelet Shaked on Wednesday hailed the Israeli court’s decision, announced late on Tuesday, relating to Mitzpe Kramim, an outpost established in 1999 near the Palestinian city of Ramallah and now home to 40 settler families.
“The ruling ... is an important achievement for settlement in Judea and Samaria,” Shaked wrote on Twitter using the Biblical names for the West Bank.
Israel’s Peace Now organization said the “granting of property rights to criminals who settled in an illegal outpost ... without permits, on private Palestinian land is outrageous”.
It noted that Israel’s right-wing government, which originally had opposed the settlers’ land claim, later supported their position in an attempt to implement a controversial law on unauthorized settlement.
Although settlements building in the occupied Palestinian territories is illegal under international law, Israel continues to expand existing settlements, as well as annexing more Palestinian land to create new outposts. The cumulative effect has been to deny Palestinians the ability to create a viable state in even a small part of historic Palestine.
Israeli Court Ruling Sets Precedent: Illegal Outpost Colonies Can be ‘Legalized’
An Israeli Court ruled on Tuesday that an Israeli colony that was established on stolen Palestinian land can be recognized and legitimized by the Israeli state, thus setting a precedent for further expansion of colonies onto Palestinian land.
This is despite the fact that all Israeli settlement colonies are considered illegal under international law, due to the fact that they are created through the seizure of Palestinian land through military force.
The Jerusalem District Court issued the ruling, with Judge Arnon Darel agreeing with the Israeli settlers in their argument that they obtained the land “in good faith” – even though the land was, in fact, stolen from its Palestinian owners.
The colonial outpost in question is called Mitzpeh Kramin, which was established in 1999 on six plots of land: one of which was owned by the Israeli government (after having been taken from its Palestinian owners in 1948), and the other five of which were owned by Palestinians who held the legal deeds to the land.
The judge ruled that the residents of Mitzpeh Kramim are the legal owners of the land and that the Israeli Military Civil Administration in the West Bank cannot revoke their ownership. In addition, the judge ruled that the Palestinians whose land was stolen are not entitled to the return of their land.
According to the judge, because the colonial settlers moved onto the land “in good faith”, their takeover is legally justified.
The Israeli daily Ha’aretz reports that “the government did not know at the time [1999] that the land was privately owned because of confusion in the mapping of the area, and now admits that the land should not have been allocated to the settlement.”
acording to Ha’aretz, “In 1999, 10 buildings were constructed in what is now Mitzpeh Kramim with permits and help from the government. Since then, more structures have gone up – but without permits.
In 2011, Palestinians petitioned the High Court of Justice asking to revoke the master plan for Mitzpeh Kramim and prevent any further building.
This case has been frozen for now, partly because of the proceedings underway concerning the new law on expropriation of privately-owned land in the West Bank in return for above-market compensation. Known as the regularization law, the new law legalizes previously illegally seized land used for Jewish settlement.”
The case sets a precedent for more illegal colonies constructed through the forced seizure of Palestinian land, often accompanied by violence carried out by paramilitary Israeli settlers, to be ‘recognized’ and ‘legalized’ by the Israeli government.

The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic) said dozens of soldiers accompanied personnel of the Jerusalem City Council, and several bulldozers, invaded the town and demolished the property. It added that the City is claiming that the building was constructed without a permit; the owners have been filing appeals with the City Council. During the destruction of the property, the soldiers attacked and injured many Palestinians, including children and women, and abducted two young men, identified as Ezz Somrain and Tareq Roweidi. video While the Palestinians continue to be denied construction permits despite the heavy costs of the applications, and continue to be facing excessively-high fines and fees, Israel continues to build and expand its illegal colonies, in direct violation of International Law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention. video video Israeli forces use excessive violence towards Silwan residents Israeli forces injured at least eight Palestinians, including three pregnant women, and detained three others from the Silwan neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, while demolishing a printing house, on Wednesday.

Israeli forces surrounded the printing house before bulldozers began the demolition under the pretext that it was built without the nearly impossible-to-obtain Israeli building permit. The demolished printing house belonged to Palestinian resident, Omar Siyam, who confirmed that the facility was established over 15 years ago. Siyam noted that the municipality issued a demolition order against the building earlier this month, to which Siam and his lawyer responded by submitting an objection. However, the municipality did not respond to the objection nor deliver another demolition notice as a warning. |
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center, in the neighborhood, said that Israeli forces were deployed across Silwan preventing residents from movement, whether by foot or using a vehicle; they also sealed a main road.
Clashes erupted following the demolition, during which Israeli forces assaulted several Palestinian residents, among whom were girls, women, and elderly, by beating and pushing them.
The center added that Israeli forces showered residents with sound and tear-gas bombs, in addition to firing live ammunition and rubber-coated steel bullets.

Khalil al-Tafakji, head of the maps department at the Arab Studies Society, said the Israeli occupation has established 58,000 settlement units in Occupied Jerusalem in ten years and seeks to build thousands more in the next few years.
In a Monday statement, Tafakji warned of Israeli intents to seize over 87% of Palestinian land in Occupied Jerusalem.
The expert added that Israel accelerated the pace of its settlement activity throughout the occupied Palestinian territories after the US President Donald Trump recognized Occupied Jerusalem as the capital of the self-proclaimed Israeli state.
Tafakji sounded the alarm over Israeli strategies to boost Judaization and settlement schemes, most notably the so-called 2020 project and 2050 project.

He added that Israeli bulldozers entered the neighborhood and began to raze the land and uproot several planted trees, while Israeli forces surrounded the area and prevented access to it.
Badr stressed that the Custodian of Absentees' Property attempted to claim ownership of the property and attempted to carry out the seizure without an official decision from the Israeli court.
According to Israeli law, Jewish Israelis are permitted to claim ownership over property believed to have been owned by Jews before 1948 during Ottoman or British rule.
However, such a law does not exist for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees who were displaced from their lands and homes during and after the establishment of the state of Israel.
Israelis have claimed that Sheikh Jarrah was once the site of a 19th century Jewish community. Many families in the neighborhood have been embroiled in legal disputes for decades, as various Israeli settlers have attempted to claim ownership over their homes.
Some of the properties that had once been owned by Jews -- thousands of whom fled East Jerusalem during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war -- were repurposed by the Jordanian government, who took control over the territory following the war, to house some of the approximately 750,000 Palestinians who were forced from homes that were consumed by the new Israeli state.
When Israel took control over the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza after the Six-Day War in 1967, the Jordanian-controlled properties were transferred to Israel's general custodian.

Eye-witness Hashem Bader said Israeli policemen escorted by a bulldozer rolled into a land tract owned by the Palestinian citizen Abdul Razaq al-Sheikh and chopped down fruitful trees, paving the way for the confiscation of the land, covering an overall area of 40 square meters.
The family’s lawyer showed up in the area and updated the Israeli forces about the illegitimacy of the measure, which he said has been carried out with no official court order.
