Israel issues military order against Khan al-Ahmar
Picture
Israeli authorities issued a military order, on Monday, to extend the period of the closure of roads, leading to the Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar, east of Jerusalem district in the central occupied West Bank.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Committee, the Israeli military order seeks to seize Palestinian-owned lands for military purposes.

The closure will continue until January 15th 2019.

The military order included controlling lands, which measure about 1.4 dunams (0.34 acres), in the nearby Anata village, located in the same area.

The committee mentioned that the 1.4 dunams of land would be controlled by the Israeli authorities for “urgent security purposes.”

Following the Israeli High Court's approval for the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar, the village has been in danger of being demolished by Israeli forces at any moment, which would displace 181 people, half of whom are children.

Critics and human rights organizations argue that the demolition is part of an Israeli plan to expand the nearby illegal Israeli settlement of Kfar Adummim and to create a region of contiguous Israeli control from Jerusalem almost to the Dead Sea, which would make a contiguous Palestinian state impossible.

Israel has been constantly trying to uproot Bedouin communities from the east of Jerusalem area to allow settlement expansion in the area, which would later turn the entire eastern part of the West Bank into a settlement zone.

Although international humanitarian law prohibits the demolition of the village and illegal confiscation of private property, Israeli forces continue their planned expansion by forcing evictions and violating basic human rights of the people.

Israel demolishes 2 homes, leaving 20 Palestinians homeless in Jericho
Picture
Israeli forces demolished two houses in the al-Fasayil village north of Jericho City in the northern occupied West Bank's Jordan Valley area, on Monday morning.

Head of the al-Fasayil village council, Ibrahim Abu Awad, condemned the demolition carried out by the Israeli authorities.

He identified the owners of the houses as Ayman Youssef Qureinat and Hassan al-Zayid, pointing out that both families consist of ten members, who have become hopeless.

Abu Awad called for immediate protection for Palestinians of the Jordan Valley region.

Forming a third of the occupied West Bank and with 88 percent of its land classified as Area C, the Jordan Valley has long been a strategic area of land unlikely to return to Palestinians following Israel's occupation in 1967.

Israel rarely grants Palestinians permits to build in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem, although the estimated 550,000 Jewish Israeli settlers in the occupied Palestinian territory are more easily given building permits and allowed to expand their homes and properties.

Nearly all Palestinian applications for building permits in Area C -- the more than 60 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli military control -- are denied by the Israeli authorities, forcing communities to build illegally.

Three Palestinians ordered by IOF to destroy their homes
Picture
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) ordered on Monday three Palestinians to demolish their homes in the Yatta-area village of Umm al-Khair, in the south of the West Bank province of al-Khalil.

According to the local activist Rateb Jabour, the IOF handed the three residents from the Hathalin family demolition orders for construction without permit.

Jabour strongly condemned the Israeli demolition and displacement policy which aims at extending the neighboring Israeli settlement of Karmiel.

Palestinians are thirsty while Israeli settlers enjoy plenty of water
Picture
At the entrances of Nablus governorate to the north-west, the towns of Deir Sharaf, Barqa and Bazaria, suffer from the scarcity of water, despite the fact that they live on a large water basin, while the nearby settlement of Shavei Shomron enjoys large amounts of water round the clock.

The residents of these towns, which number more than 40,000, are distressed and thirsty, while 1,200 settlers consume water twice as much they do.

Palestinians’ plantations die because of the lack of water in the summer, and the trees of Shavei Shomron settlement rise up in the sky due to abundant amounts of water.

Water guaranteed for settlers

Dirar Abu Omar, the Director of the Agricultural Relief Society in Nablus and the former deputy mayor of Barqa village for four years, said that the Israelis control the water basin in the settlement of Shomron, which gets its water from the water-well of the Palestinian neighboring village of Beit Iba. When the water level goes down to less than two meters, settlers get water around the clock.

He added that anyone observing the trees inside the Israeli military post and the settlement of Shomron, could see the size of the trees, which are no more than ten years old. The trees of the villages of Naqoura and Deir Sharaf, which are 60 years old, do not reach half of their size due to the lack of water.

The suffering in summer

The head of the council of Deir Sharaf village, Fahmi Nofal, confirms that only a street separates his town from the Israeli settlement. In the summer, the town suffers from lack of drinking water, and people are forced to buy water through tanks or to bring water from a water spring in the town.

Farmer Abdullah Antari says that dozens of dunums planted with citrus have dried up or decreased their produce due to the lack of water, after the village was known for orange and lemon produce, which was profitable for farmers, pointing out that one of the workers from the town at the settlement of Shomron has noticed the existence of swimming pools in the majority of the houses of the settlement, as well as pipes for watering plantations around the clock.

According to Mahmoud Saifi, the Director of the Land Research Center in Nablus, the Israeli occupation controls the Palestinian resources, including water, as well as the drilling of water-wells and the quantities of water allowed to be pumped, based on the Oslo Accords, without heeding the needs of the citizens for drinking water and for irrigating crops.

Israeli control

He added that the villages north-west of Nablus is an example of this, despite the presence of plenty of water under their land, and the passage of water lines in front of their homes.

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the Israeli occupation controls 85% of the water flowing from the aquifers, forcing the Palestinians to purchase water from the Israeli water company Mekorot; the amount of water purchased amounted to 63.5 million m3.

The Israeli occupation also controls most of the renewable water resources in Palestine, amounting to about 750 million m3 annually, while the Palestinians receive only about 110 million m3 of the available resources.

The Palestinian share of the aquifers according to the Oslo Accords is 118 million m3. This quantity was supposed to become 200 million m3 by the year 2000, if the Oslo Accords were implemented.

According to Engineer Mazen Ghoneim, the Head of the Water Authority in Palestine, the daily ration of water of Israeli settlers is from 400 to 800 liters, compared to 45-50 liters for the Palestinians.

Israeli forces demolish houses, seize money in Jordan Valley
Picture
The Israeli occupation forces on Monday demolished Palestinian houses and sheep brans in the northern Jordan Valley.

Anti-settlement activist Aref Daraghmeh said in press statements that large Israeli forces stormed Fasayel village and demolished residential facilities and sheep barns owned by Bedouin families there.

Daraghmeh added that the Israeli forces raided a number of Palestinian houses in the same area on Sunday evening and seized about 50,000 NIS.

IOF kidnaps 17 Palestinians in overnight campaigns
Picture
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Monday arrested 17 Palestinians, including ex-detainees, in large scale campaigns in the West Bank.

The IOF raided Tulkarem, searched dozens of Palestinian houses, and arrested five Palestinian citizens.

Local sources reported that violent clashes broke out in the area during the IOF raid.

Meanwhile, the IOF arrested a Palestinian youth in al-Am'ari refugee camp in Ramallah after searching his family house and assaulting his family.

The IOF arrested another Palestinian in Jifna town, north of Ramallah, and confiscated his car.

According to local residents, six Palestinian ex-prisoners were arrested during Bethlehem sweeps.

At the same time in al-Khalil, the IOF arrested two children, raided and searched a number of Palestinian houses, and handed an ex-prisoner an order to appear before the Israeli Intelligence Service for interrogation.

Palestinian village surrounded by five Jewish settler outposts
Picture
The sound of Jewish settler bulldozers as they sweep and dig rocks to build infrastructure for five settlement outposts surrounding the village of Jalud, south of Nablus, is always heard. This has caused the loss of agricultural and pastoral land of the village, which has been plagued by Jewish settlements.

Abdullah Mohammed, the head of the village’s council, confirmed that the Israeli bulldozers continue to raze the village’s land on which many settlement outposts are built, as well as the construction of new roads, water reservoirs on the high mountains and housing units.

He added that the village is no longer able to bear the losses caused by the settlements. It has drained the majority of the village’s land, where the settlements’ expansion does not stop, with the aim of establishing a very large settlement bloc in the area.

Farmer Ahmad Alabid from Jalud said: “The settlements are causing the depletion of grazing areas and agricultural fields. The settlers claim that the land belongs to them and that we, the owners of the land, must leave in a clear theft under the threat of arms and the protection of the occupation army.”

As for why the Israeli occupation concentrates on settlements south of Nablus, researcher Khalid Maali said that this is due to the presence of ancient monuments which religious extremist settlers think come second in importance to that of occupied Jerusalem, as well as because of Jalud’s geographic and strategic location as it is located in the middle of the West Bank, north of Ramallah and east of Salfit and south of Nablus.

Ghassan Daghlas, the official in charge of the settlement profile in the northern West Bank, said a new settlement outpost had been established on the lands of Jalud village, south of the village school, where settlers erected a large tent and built wooden rooms in the area.

Five outposts

He added that settlement expansion is taking place in five sites in the lands of Jalud, such as in the settlements of Shvut Rachel and Amihai al-Jadida, where construction work is underway for building new houses and infrastructure.

At the same time, construction work is taking place at the outposts of Hayah, Ish Kudash and Kida, in addition to the construction of settlement outposts outside these outposts in order to expand them at the expense of Palestinian lands to bring more Jewish settlers in.

The settlements and outposts built on the lands of the village of Jalud, south and east, witnessed an unprecedented construction, bulldozing and settlement expansion in order to impose facts on the ground before the official declaration by the occupation authorities of legitimizing the five settlement outposts, thus forming of a huge settlement bloc on an area of more than 8 km2 of the lands of Jalud, which is classified as area C of the West Bank.

Jalud is a Palestinian village located 26 km to the southeast of the city of Nablus. It is located 790 meter above the sea level, and it is part of the Nablus governorate.

Its lands are surrounded by the villages of Qasri, Qaryut and al-Mughair. Its population in 1922 was estimated at 124. In 1945, there were about 300 people living in the village.

Palestinians in Lod protest against house demolition policy
Picture
Hundreds of Palestinians on Friday took part in a mass demonstration in Lod city in the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories against Israel's house demolition policy in the city.

The demonstrators raised banners and chanted slogans condemning Israel's stepped up demolition policy pursued against Palestinian houses in Lod.

The demonstration was organized in the wake of the demolition a three-floor house owned by the Palestinian family of Sha'aban two days ago.

The Israeli authorities usually demolish Palestinian houses and shops in the 1948 occupied Palestine under the pretext of being unlicensed.

The Palestinian citizens have two choices: to demolish their own buildings, or to have their buildings demolished by the Israeli municipality and pay fines amounting to thousands of shekels (one dollar=3.7 shekel).

Approximately one million and a half Palestinians live in the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories and hold Israeli citizenship, constituting 20% of the total population. These Palestinians suffer from discrimination in all fields, especially in the areas of employment and housing.

Palestinian building demolished in O. J’lem
Picture
Israeli bulldozers demolished on Wednesday morning a Palestinian-owned building in occupied Jerusalem, for being allegedly built without permit.

Local activist Rasem Obaidat said that Israeli police forces stormed Jabal al-Mukkaber neighborhood early today before starting demolishing a local building owned by al-Maghrbi family.

 Dozens of Israeli military police cordoned off the neighborhood and deployed in the alleyways as municipality bulldozers proceeded to demolish the building under the pretext of being built without a rarely-issued Israeli license, Obaidat clarified.

Israeli Demolitions Leave Palestinians Homeless

Israeli bulldozers demolished a Palestinian home and a commercial building, on Wednesday, in the Jabal Al-Mukabbir neighborhood, in occupied East Jerusalem.

A Ma’an reporter said that dozens of Israeli forces, along with staff from the Israeli Civil Administration and several bulldozers, stormed the neighborhood and blocked a number of streets.

According to local sources, prior to the demolition, Israeli forces raided a residential building belonging to Mahran al-Mughrabi, and forced him, along with his wife and two children, out of their home. Sources added that Israeli bulldozers demolished the home under the pretext that it was built without a permit.

Al-Mughrabi pointed out that the demolished home measured 200-square-meters and was built nearly two years ago.

Meanwhile, local sources said that Israeli forces surrounded a commercial building, in the same neighborhood, and removed its contents, including computers, desks, and chairs, before the demolition commenced.

The commercial building, which measured 50-square-meters, was also demolished under the pretext that it was built without an Israeli permit.

Sources mentioned that the owner had previously attempted to obtain an Israeli permit three months ago, while building, and that he had received no prior demolition notice from Israeli authorities. Israel uses the pretext of building without a permit to carry out demolitions of Palestinian-owned homes on a regular basis.

Israel rarely grants Palestinians permits to build in East Jerusalem, though the Jerusalem municipality has claimed that, compared to the Jewish population, which sees high approval ratings, they receive a disproportionately low number of permit applications from Palestinian communities.

In related news, Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian-owned structure on Tuesday, in Suba village, west of the southern occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

Local sources said that the demolished structure was part of a larger caravan which was donated, by an international organization, to Palestinian resident Nabil al-Hayla.

Sources added that Israeli forces had previously demolished al-Hayla’s home, several years ago.

No reason was given for the demolition.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territory issued a report that the month of July recorded the highest number of Palestinian structures Israel has demolished or seized (54), and of Palestinian civilians displaced (97) in the occupied territories, since January 2017.

The report said that the cumulative number of structures targeted so far, in 2018, (251) has remained below the figure in the equivalent period of 2017 (286). All of the demolitions carried out during July 2018 took place under the pretext of lack of building permits.

Israel seizes Palestinian-owned lands near Bethlehem
Picture
Israel's Supreme Court has issued a decision providing for transferring the ownership of over 500 dunums of Palestinian-owned land near Gush Etzion settlement, south of Bethlehem, to the Jewish National Fund, Israel Hayom newspaper said on Tuesday.

The paper reported that the Supreme Court earlier this week rejected an appeal filed by the Palestinians against a court decision stipulating that the Jewish National Fund is the owner of these lands.

The court decision gives Israeli settlers the authority to build hundreds of settlement units on the seized lands which cover an area of 522 dunums (a dunum equals 1,000 square meters).

The Jewish National Fund is a Zionist organization founded in 1901 to raise funds from the Jews to seize Palestinian lands and establish Jewish settlements there. The Jewish National Fund's work continued during the British Mandate and even following the 1948 and 1967 wars.

There are 127 settlements and 116 random outposts in the West Bank inhabited by about 450,000 Israelis, while Jerusalem alone has 15 settlements where 220,000 Israelis live.

Palestinian building reduced to rubble by Israeli occupation
Picture
Israeli occupation bulldozers demolished on Wednesday morning a Palestinian residential facility south of occupied Jerusalem city under the guise of unlicensed construction.

According to eye-witnesses, Israeli municipal crews escorted by police troops, rolled into al-Abeidat neighborhood, in Jabal al-Mukabbir town, and closed off vital thoroughfares.

The occupation forces cordoned off a home belonging to the Maghrebi family and forced the inhabitants out after they violently beat up the family members.

The bulldozers turned the building into mounds of rubble without prior notifications and under the pretext of unpermitted construction.

Journalists were also denied access into the demolition scene by the occupation police.
