Palestinians injured by settlers' bullets and orders to seize lands

Several Palestinians were injured today, Tuesday, by settlers' bullets, while three others were beaten in the town of Aqraba south of Nablus, including the French News Agency journalist Ja'far Ishtay.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said that its teams dealt with the injured and transferred some of them to the hospital for treatment.

In Jenin, the Committee for the Resistance of the Wall and Settlement said that the occupation authorities issued a new military order to seize 0.741 dunams of land in the Jabariyat neighborhood, within Area A, under the pretext of what it called "urgent military purposes".

The committee explained that the order targets plots in Basin 20071, and partially overlaps with lands previously targeted by a military order issued in May last year, making it spatially connected to them, while the occupation authorities set the duration of its validity at 60 days and the objection period at 24 hours.

The committee warned that the danger of the decision is not limited to the area of the targeted lands, but extends to the impact of the successive orders of placing hands on the lands and corridors within the Palestinian urban fabric in the classified area and in occupied Jerusalem. Israeli occupation forces demolished a five-story residential building containing 10 apartments in the town of Al-Tur in central occupied Jerusalem, after storming the area with several military vehicles.

The Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement that the occupation authorities delivered a final demolition notice to the residents yesterday, after years of pursuing them with demolition notices and imposing financial fines, and refusing to grant them a building license.

According to the governorate's report, the occupation authorities carried out 139 demolition and bulldozing operations in Jerusalem during the third quarter of 2026, and issued 150 notices and decisions for demolition, evacuation, and seizure, including 140 related to demolition.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs documented about 170 Palestinian buildings demolished in East Jerusalem since the beginning of the year under the pretext of not being licensed, noting the difficulty of Palestinians obtaining building permits, the escalation of demolitions and evacuations, and the concerns they raise under international humanitarian law.
