Israeli forces continue land levelling in West Bank for planned military camp

Israeli forces have continued excavation and land-levelling work in the Al-Jabriyat neighbourhood of Jenin in the occupied West Bank for the seventh consecutive day as part of a plan to establish a new military camp in the area.

Local sources said Israeli bulldozers are continuing work on a seven-dunam agricultural plot after it was seized despite being located in Area A, which is under Palestinian Authority control.

Last week, Israeli forces evacuated two occupied homes near the confiscated land and forced their residents to leave as part of preparations for the construction of the military camp.

The planned military camp is expected to overlook Jenin refugee camp, which has been under a continuing Israeli military operation since 21 January 2025, involving large-scale raids and the forced displacement of residents.

The ongoing Israeli military campaign in Jenin and its refugee camp has displaced around 21,000 people from their homes. Nearly half of the camp’s buildings have been completely or partially destroyed, leaving many uninhabitable.
