During November 2025, Palestinian communities across the West Bank endured a staggering wave of attacks and property seizures, as Israeli forces and settler groups carried out at least 2,144 operations targeting civilians and their lands. The majority of these incidents occurred in Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem, and Nablus, affecting both residential areas and agricultural lands. Reports indicate that trees were uprooted, fields set on fire, homes and farming structures demolished, and property confiscated, often in areas closed off under security pretexts while settlers were permitted to expand their presence.
The systematic nature of these operations, according to local observers, reflects an ongoing strategy to displace Palestinians and consolidate control over key territories. Settlers attempted to establish 19 new outposts during the month, predominantly for farming and grazing purposes. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities implemented administrative measures, including land confiscation and the reclassification of land boundaries, annexing approximately 280 hectares of privately owned Palestinian land.
Demolitions remained a significant part of this campaign, with 46 operations carried out across the West Bank in November alone. These targeted 76 structures, including 20 inhabited homes, 30 agricultural facilities, and multiple sources of livelihood, with the greatest number occurring in Hebron, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem. Additionally, Israeli planning authorities reviewed 23 new settlement expansion plans, further entrenching the occupation’s control over the region. Observers emphasised that these coordinated measures amount to more than isolated incidents, they represent a systematic attempt to erase Palestinian presence and enforce a colonial framework.
