On Thursday, the Israeli occupation army issued an order illegally confiscating Palestinian lands in the town of Ya’bad, southwest of Jenin in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
The local town council in Ya’bad stated that the army issued an order to seize more than two dunams of Palestinian land. It added that the military published a structural map of the site designated for what it described as “military purposes.”
In 2022, the occupation army issued a separate order confiscating 87 dunams of Palestinian land to expand the illegal Tal Menashe colony, built on stolen land at the outskirts of the town.
It is worth noting that Ya’bad is encircled by eight illegal colonies and three colonial outposts, all constructed on expropriated Palestinian land, depriving residents of access to their primary sources of livelihood.
On Thursday morning, illegal Israeli paramilitary colonizers invaded Arab Al-Mleihat Bedouin community, northwest of Jericho in the northeastern part of 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”.
