The Israeli army has issued 22 eviction and demolition orders for Palestinian homes in Kafr Aqab, north of occupied East Jerusalem, giving homeowners one week to evacuate. This action is part of an escalating Israeli campaign targeting Palestinian presence in the West Bank. Previously, Israeli authorities had issued notices to halt construction for approximately 20 homes in the same town. Additionally, Israeli forces placed concrete blocks in the Khneideq area to install a military gate, further restricting Palestinian access to their lands. Since October 2023, Israel has established 244 new gates among 917 military checkpoints in the occupied West Bank, intensifying attacks that have resulted in numerous Palestinian casualties and arrests.
