Israeli forces have decided to seize 137,500 dunums of farmland belonging to residents of Jiesh, a town north of Qalqiliya, according to Shehab Wire. The targeted land lies behind the separation barrier and has been subject to increasingly strict occupation restrictions that prevent Palestinian farmers from reaching their fields.
The confiscation order represents an expansion of Israeli land seizures in the region. Simultaneously, military authorities issued separate confiscation notices affecting agricultural land in the nearby town of Imatin, signaling a broader operation targeting Palestinian-held property in northern West Bank areas.
