Jenin, West Bank – 26 July 2026 – The Israeli military has issued two military orders to uproot vegetation and olive trees, and seize Palestinian land in Jenin governorate in the occupied West Bank.
The first order calls for the removal of vegetation and olive trees from 32.941 dunums (8.13 acres) of land belonging to the towns of Jaba’ and Ajjah, south of Jenin. The second order provides for the seizure of 22.026 dunums (5.44 acres) of land belonging to the town of Al-Yamun, west of Jenin.
