Israel Expands Stop‑Work and Demolition Measures in Jenin Area –

Israeli forces issued new stop-work and demolition orders in the eastern Jenin area of the occupied West Bank on Sunday, targeting Palestinian structures and properties. This action is part of an escalating series of Israeli administrative measures aimed at restricting Palestinian development. Local sources reported that Israeli crews delivered military orders to residents, halting construction. In a related incident, Palestinian farmers in Arraba were compelled to dismantle a greenhouse to avoid significant financial losses after receiving a demolition order. These measures, including stop-work orders and demolition threats, are intensifying across the West Bank, particularly in areas classified as “C,” under the pretext of “lack of permits.” Palestinian communities and rights groups assert that Israel makes obtaining building permits nearly impossible for Palestinians while simultaneously expanding settlements.
