Israeli forces have uprooted approximately 3,000 olive trees in the Palestinian village of Al-Mughayyir, located northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli military justified the action as a security measure due to the trees’ proximity to a settler road, following a recent shooting attack. The operation involved bulldozers leveling land and uprooting olive trees, some of which are over 100 years old, carried out in the presence of Israeli soldiers. This event is part of a broader pattern of Israeli actions in the West Bank, including the establishment of new settlements and outposts. Israeli settlers have set up caravans on Palestinian land in Umm Al-Kheir in the Masafer Yatta region, south of the West Bank, and have begun constructing a new settlement on Palestinian-owned land in Farata village, east of Qalqilya. Human rights observers describe these measures as collective punishment and intimidation aimed at re-engineering Palestinian space. Additionally, the ongoing construction of the E1 settlement is viewed as a move that undermines the possibility of a Palestinian state and facilitates Israeli annexation of the West Bank. Reports also highlight that Jewish settlers, supported by government funding, have been attacking Bedouin villages in the area, contributing to the displacement of Palestinian residents.
