The Confiscation Order
The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, affiliated with the Palestinian Authority, announced that Israel decided to urgently seize approximately 7.5 dunams of land in Qabatiya, Jenin, citing military and security reasons. A map published with the military order shows that the Israeli army aims to build a military road, with a military tower to be constructed at its final section. The map indicates that the new military road is located north of the illegal 'Noa' settlement, which has recently expanded with new settlements. The commission described this as a 'dangerous geographical connection' facilitating colonial expansion.
Broader Land Seizures
The commission stated that such military orders aim to plunder more Palestinian land and build infrastructure that will facilitate comprehensive colonial expansion in the region. On September 1, the commission reported that approximately 109,141 dunams of Palestinian land have been confiscated under the current Israeli government.
