Israeli authorities have intensified policies of displacement and demolition across the occupied territory, tightening pressure on Palestinian communities through expulsion orders, home demolitions and movement restrictions.
At the same time, settler attacks on schools and homes, carried out with military backing, have further eroded Palestinian safety and access to basic services.
In the central West Bank, forced displacement expands.
On Sunday morning, Israeli forces raided the Abu Najeh al-Kaabneh Bedouin community in al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah.
Local sources told the Wafa news agency that soldiers handed residents a military order requiring the community’s 40 people to dismantle their homes and leave within 48 hours.
The Israeli army declared the area a “closed military zone”, a designation Palestinians say is routinely used to clear land for settlement expansion.
During the raid, Israeli troops arrested three foreign solidarity activists who were documenting the expulsion order.
The move follows the full displacement of the Shallal al-Auja Bedouin community north of Jericho, completed on Saturday after years of harassment that forced the last three families to leave.
Once home to around 120 families, the community has now been erased entirely.
Meanwhile, in occupied East Al-Quds, demolitions continue.
In the Jabal Mukaber neighborhood, Palestinian resident Yasser Maher Dana was forced on Sunday to demolish his 100-square-metre home in the al-Salaa area.
The house sheltered four family members.
Israeli authorities routinely compel Palestinians to carry out demolitions themselves to avoid heavy fines imposed when municipal crews perform the destruction.
Rights groups say these demolitions are justified by permit requirements that Palestinians can rarely meet.
In Silwan, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the municipality issued a demolition order for a residential room owned by the al-Taweel family, giving them 10 days to comply.
The order came days after notices were issued before the demolition of two homes belonging to brothers in the Wadi Qaddum neighborhood.
At the same time, tensions flared at holy sites.
Dozens of Israeli settlers entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound under heavy police protection, according to the Al-Quds governorate.
The incursion included what officials described as a provocative “wedding blessing” ritual performed in the courtyards, violating long-standing arrangements governing the site.
Further north, settlers targeted education and homes.
In the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli settlers, backed by the military, disrupted classes at al-Maleh School.
Azmi Balawneh, director of education in Tubas, said settlers blocked teachers from reaching the school, which serves children from the Bedouin communities of al-Hadidiya, Makhoul and Samra.
The incident followed the establishment of a new illegal settlement outpost in the al-Maleh area a week earlier.
On Sunday morning, settlers also erected a new tent in nearby Khirbet Samra to seize additional grazing land.
In the village of Faraata, east of Qalqilya, settlers from the illegal Havat Gilad outpost attacked the home of Hijazi Yamin.
Yamin told Wafa that settlers threw stones at his house and released an attack dog, trapping his wife and seven children inside.
“We live in a constant state of insecurity,” Yamin said.
“This was the second attack in a week,” he added, saying he feared leaving his family alone or allowing his children to go to school.
Elsewhere, Israeli military operations intensified.
Israeli forces carried out raids across the West Bank on Sunday, arresting at least four Palestinians.
In Hebron, two brothers were detained after troops raided their family home.
Additional arrests were reported in the village of Duma, south of Nablus, and in al-Ubeidiya, east of Bethlehem.
In Jenin, military vehicles entered the city center and the Jabel Abu Dhuhair neighborhood, where troops destroyed street vendors’ carts near the Cinema Roundabout.
Finally, movement restrictions tightened further.
For a second day, the Israeli army sealed the main entrance to Turmus Aya, north of Ramallah.
Troops also closed the Atara military checkpoint from early morning, cutting off access between northern and central West Bank areas.
According to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, the Israeli regime now operates 916 military checkpoints and gates across the West Bank.
