The occupation forces seize 41 dunums of land in the Ramallah Governorate.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that the occupation authorities seized 41 dunams of Palestinian land in the Ramallah Governorate at the beginning of this month, using military orders called "seizure orders," to impose new facts on the grounds of security and military purposes.

The Authority explained in a statement that the first order, numbered (T/59/25), targeted an area of 23,834 dunams of land from the villages of Shibtin, Deir Ammar, and Deir Qadis, west of Ramallah, under the pretext of seizing it for military purposes. The order aims to seize the aforementioned area, with the aim of creating a buffer zone around the "Na'ale settlement," built on the lands of the aforementioned villages.

She pointed out that the areas declared for seizure overlap between new areas for the benefit of the military order, while the order stipulates the allocation of areas for seizure under the name "state lands" for the benefit of the military order, which amount to 16,834 dunams of citizens' land.

She added: The second order, numbered (T/17/23), targets an area of 12,221 dunums of land in the villages of Deir Ghassaneh and Al-Lubban, northwest of Ramallah, under the pretext of seizing land for military purposes. The order aims to amend a military order issued in 2023 by canceling control over an area of 4,792 dunums and adding a new area to the military order, amounting to 5,888 dunums, for seizure.

The order allocates 6,333 dunams of land originally declared state land to complete the scope of the military order, which currently amounts to 12,221 dunams, with the aim of establishing a buffer zone around the Beit Aryeh settlement, which is built on the lands of citizens of the two aforementioned villages.

The third order, numbered T/38/25, targeted a total of 4,659 dunums of land from the villages of Shibtin and Deir Qadis, west of Ramallah Governorate, with the aim of establishing a military road connecting the settlements of Na'ale and Nili, which are built on the lands of citizens in the two villages. An analysis of the areas targeted in the military order file indicates that the occupying state allocated an area of one dunum declared as state land for the benefit of the military order, while 3,654 dunums were added to the aforementioned order.

According to data from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, since the beginning of 2025, the occupation authorities have issued a total of 19 military orders to seize Palestinian lands, six of which led to the establishment of buffer zones around settlements, including: two around the settlements of "Nekodim and Efrat" in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, specifically on the lands of the Bethlehem Governorate, another around the "Avitar" outpost in the Nablus Governorate, another around the Havat Gilad outpost on the lands of the Qalqilya Governorate, and the last around the settlements of "Na'aleh" and "Beit Aryeh" in the Ramallah Governorate.

The occupying state has recently intensified its issuance of these types of orders, in an attempt to impose new realities on Palestinian lands, including the construction of military towers and roads designated for the army and settlers, in addition to the buffer zones around settlements. These military orders are deployed in the service of the settlers and settlements, at the expense of citizens' lands and their ability to lead normal lives.
