Israeli occupation authorities have seized 15,342 dunams of land in Al-Bireh, in the central West Bank, the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission reported. The seizure was executed under Military Order No. 115/25/T, which the authorities justified as establishing a so-called "security route" traversing the region.
The confiscated territory effectively isolates an additional 380 dunams of Palestinian land from surrounding communities, according to the commission's assessment. The action marks the latest in a series of land seizures affecting residents of Al-Bireh and surrounding areas in the central West Bank. The military order cited for the takeover falls under Israel's occupation authority structure in the territory.
