Israeli occupation authorities issued demolition and eviction orders on Wednesday 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.
In a statement, the Jerusalem Governorate denounced the move as part of a broader effort to clear land for the colonial “Fabric of Life Road” project.
This latest action follows a series of similar notices, including 14 issued just a day earlier in Wadi al-Jamal and Jabal al-Baba.
Days prior, 13 additional orders were delivered at the entrance to Al-Eizariya, threatening to sever these communities from the town and isolate them entirely.
The governorate emphasized that these measures are “part of a systematic Judaization campaign” tied to expansive colonial schemes such as the “E1” corridor and the “Greater Jerusalem” blueprint—both designed to consolidate Israeli colonies and sever Palestinian geographic continuity between Jerusalem and the West Bank.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, Israeli forces issued demolition orders for 33 Palestinian structures in July alone.
The majority were concentrated in Bethlehem (19), followed by Hebron (6), with three each in Qalqilya and Tubas, and one in both Tulkarm and Jerusalem.
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”.
