Israeli occupation authorities confiscated 25,000 dunams of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank during the past three years, Shehab Wire reported. The seizures relied on a complex system of military orders to maintain ground control and expand settlement reach across the territory.
The mechanism of confiscation reflects the legal structures Israeli authorities have established to formalize control over Palestinian property. Military orders serve as the primary instrument through which these land seizures are executed and justified under occupation law. Palestinian landowners have little recourse to challenge the confiscations through the military court system.
