Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers established new outposts and expanded existing ones across several districts of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, in a series of coordinated violations documented by local sources and official Palestinian institutions.
In the Jerusalem district, colonizers set up a new outpost near the al‑Mahtoush Bedouin community adjacent to Khan al‑Ahmar, east of occupied Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Governorate said colonizers installed plastic structures and agricultural sheds about 100 meters from Palestinian homes, days after extending a water line through the community.
The move aims to tighten restrictions on Bedouin residents, encircle grazing areas, and impose new colonial realities. Colonizers have cut off water supplies to Bedouin communities east of Jerusalem six times in one month.
In Jenin, in northern West Bank, colonizers began constructing a new outpost on lands belonging to Kafr Ra’ey, southwest of the city. Mayor Luay Sheikh said colonizers bulldozed agricultural lands owned by the Abu al‑Shawareb family and erected a tent near the Dotan colony, warning it could lead to the seizure of hundreds of dunams of farmland.
In Nablus, in northern West Bank, Israeli colonizers invaded Palestinian olive orchards in Beita town, southeast of the city, before cutting and uprooting dozens of olive trees belonging to local families.
In Tulkarem, in northwestern West Bank, groups of colonizers invaded the historic village of Kour, and closed several surrounding streets to prevent the Palestinians from reaching the area.
In Ramallah, in central West Bank, colonizers expanded the outpost on Jabal al‑Ras hilltop in Umm Safa and seized a house in Khirbet Sarfin near Atara, smashing its contents and bringing in their own furniture.
Also in Atara, a group of colonizers stormed and occupied a Palestinian home in Khirbet Sarfeen, in the eastern part of the town.
Local media sources said the colonizers smashed the furniture inside the occupied home, dumped it outside, and then brought in their own belongings and furnishings.
It is worth noting that several months ago, the colonizers installed five tents and brought large numbers of livestock to graze on extensive areas of Palestinian lands, after preventing Palestinian landowners from entering the area.
The colonizers have been using the new outpost as a staging ground for invading Palestinian communities and lands, carrying out arson attacks, property destruction, and the uprooting of trees.
Furthermore, a group of colonizers bulldozed and uprooted Palestinian agricultural lands in the An‑Najma Basin area of Kafr Ni‘ma, west of Ramallah, while Israeli occupation soldiers installed multiple military roadblocks around the area and across other parts of the Ramallah governorate.
In Hebron, colonizers began excavations in Khirbet an‑Nabi in Masafer Yatta and carried out land‑leveling operations in Wadi Khneiss near Sa’ir. They also blocked roads with stones and painted racist slogans on walls in Wadi Sa’ir, northeast of the city.
Residents from the Shalalda family continue to face repeated assaults by Israeli forces and colonizers, including home invasions, property destruction, and denial of access to their lands.
These incidents form part of a wider escalation of colonial expansion across the occupied West Bank, where illegal paramilitary colonizers—backed by the army—continue to seize Palestinian lands and attack communities under official protection.
This report documents officially confirmed and field‑verified incidents recorded by Palestinian institutions and local sources. Due to the scale and frequency of violations, it does not encompass all attacks and land seizures occurring today, as many remain unreported or under verification.
