Israeli authorities issued demolition and work stoppage orders Sunday targeting a kindergarten, a charitable association, and agricultural lands in the Ajarm mountain area of al-Maajen, west of Nablus in the northern West Bank, Shehab Wire reported. Occupation officials justified the orders by citing the facilities' classification as Area C, territory under full Israeli administrative and security control under the Oslo Accords.
The enforcement action affected multiple Palestinian installations across the region. Area C designation has long restricted Palestinian development, construction, and economic activity, covering roughly 60 percent of the West Bank. Sunday's orders represent a continuation of Israeli policy limiting Palestinian expansion in zones classified under that framework.
