The peak of the attacks was concentrated in Jerusalem as 17 facilities were demolished, followed by Hebron with 15 facilities, and then Jericho and Jordan Valley with 9 demolished facilities.

The number of notifications has reached 54, whether of demolition, confiscation, eviction, stopping construction work and others that prevent Palestinians from realizing their right to build, rebuild and invest their facilities.
