Israeli occupation authorities have stepped up forced displacement measures across the occupied West Bank, issuing eviction orders to a Bedouin community east of Ramallah and continuing home demolition policies in occupied East Jerusalem. These actions are intensified following settler violence against schools and Palestinian homes, further restricting daily life for Palestinians living under military occupation.

On Sunday morning, Israeli forces raided the Abu Najeh al-Kaabneh Bedouin community in al-Mughayyir village, located east of Ramallah. Local sources told the Wafa news agency that soldiers delivered a military order instructing the community’s 40 residents to dismantle their homes and leave the area within 48 hours. During the raid, the army declared the land a “closed military zone,” a term frequently used by Israeli authorities to justify the evacuation of Palestinians from their land.

The operation was carried out under heavy military presence. Three foreign solidarity activists were arrested while attempting to document the eviction order being handed to the community. The expulsion has raised fears of permanent displacement, as similar tactics have been used in nearby areas.

The eviction order comes shortly after the complete displacement of the Shallal al-Auja Bedouin community north of Jericho. On Saturday, the final three families were forced to leave after years of repeated harassment. The community once consisted of around 120 families, but sustained pressure led to its total removal.

In occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli municipal policies continued to push Palestinians out of their homes. On Sunday, Yasser Maher Dana, a resident of the Jabal Mukaber neighbourhood, was forced to demolish his own house. The home, measuring about 100 square metres, was located in the al-Salaa district and sheltered four family members.

Palestinians in East Jerusalem are often compelled to carry out demolitions themselves to avoid paying high costs imposed by the municipality if Israeli crews carry out the demolition. Authorities justify these demolitions by citing a lack of building permits, which human rights organisations say are almost impossible for Palestinians to obtain.

At the same time, the Jerusalem municipality issued a demolition order for a residential room belonging to the al-Taweel family in Silwan, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The family was given a 10-day deadline. This followed demolition notices issued three days earlier, before two homes belonging to brothers were destroyed in the Wadi Qaddum neighbourhood.

Tensions also increased at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Dozens of Israeli settlers entered the site under heavy police protection. According to the Jerusalem governorate, settlers carried out a provocative “wedding blessing” ritual for a bride inside the courtyards, an act described as a violation of the historical and religious status quo at the site.

In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli settlers disrupted education by targeting al-Maleh School. Azmi Balawneh, director of education in Tubas, said settlers blocked teachers from reaching the school, which serves children from the Bedouin communities of al-Hadidiya, Makhoul, and Samra. This incident came just one week after a new illegal settlement outpost was established in the al-Maleh area.

In nearby Khirbet Samra, settlers erected a new tent on Sunday morning in an attempt to take over more grazing land used by Palestinian herding communities.

Settler violence was also reported in the village of Faraata, east of Qalqilya. Settlers from the illegal “Havat Gilad” outpost attacked the home of Hijazi Yamin. Speaking to Wafa, Yamin said settlers threw stones at his house and released an attack dog on his family, trapping his wife and seven children inside. “We live in a constant state of insecurity,” Yamin said, adding that this was the second attack in one week. “I am afraid to leave my wife and children alone or let them go to school.”

Meanwhile, Israeli forces carried out several military raids across the West Bank on Sunday, arresting at least four Palestinians. In Hebron, two brothers were detained after soldiers raided their family home. Additional arrests were reported in the village of Duma, south of Nablus, and in al-Ubeidiya, east of Bethlehem.

In Jenin, military vehicles entered the city centre and the Jabel Abu Dhuhair neighbourhood. During the incursion, soldiers deliberately destroyed street vendors’ carts at the Cinema Roundabout, damaging livelihoods.

Movement restrictions were also tightened. For the second day in a row, Israeli forces closed the main entrance to Turmus Aya, north of Ramallah, and shut the Atara military checkpoint, cutting off routes between northern and central West Bank cities. The Colonisation and Wall Resistance Commission said Israel currently operates 916 military checkpoints and gates across the West Bank.
