Israeli occupation authorities confiscated 7.498 dunams of agricultural land in Qabatiya village, Jenin governorate, on Friday under a military order classified as "immediate and urgent," according to Shehab Wire. The confiscation was justified on purported security and military grounds through an official military decree. The order represents the latest in a series of land seizures affecting Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian resistance groups have documented repeated confiscation orders targeting Qabatiya in recent months. The village has experienced escalating pressure from Israeli military land-grab operations. Residents have protested the seizures, which they say disrupt agricultural livelihoods and reduce arable land available to local farmers.
