On Wednesday, the Israeli occupation issued six tenders for the construction and expansion of colonial project, totaling around 4,000 units in the illegal colonies of “Ariel” in Salfit Governorate and “Ma’ale Adumim” in the Jerusalem Governorate.
The Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission reported that three of the tenders are designated for expanding the newly developed “West Ariel” neighborhood, adding 730 units.
The remaining three target “Ma’ale Adumim,” between Bethlehem and Hebron, with the largest—Tender No. 320/2025—calling for the construction of 2,902 new colonial units.
The Commission highlighted that planning approvals for “Ma’ale Adumim” were granted in July, and those for “Ariel” in May.
The swift transition from approval to tendering reflects the occupation’s deliberate pace to entrench colonial realities on Palestinian land.
Additionally, the map attached to the “West Ariel” tender indicates that the proposed site lies over two kilometers from the existing colony, pointing to a concealed effort to establish a new colonial outpost under the pretext of expansion.
Also Wednesday, Israeli occupation authorities issued demolition and eviction orders targeting over 13 Palestinian residential, agricultural, and industrial structures in the Wadi al-Hoad area of Al-Eizariya, southeast of occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank.
On Tuesday, Illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers reestablished a colonialist outpost on Tuesday atop stolen Palestinian land in the town of ‘Atara, north of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
On Monday evening, several Palestinians were injured following an assault by the colonizers on the towns of Halhoul and Surif in the Hebron governorate, in the occupied West Bank’s southern part.
Earlier Monday, Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers attacked and forcibly expelled Palestinian shepherds from grazing lands in the al-Himma area of the northern Jordan Valley, in the occupied West Bank.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
