The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission reported that Israeli control over Palestinian territory in the occupied West Bank has intensified significantly, with the number of settlements and outposts reaching 592, according to Shehab Wire. The organization's findings underscore an expanding infrastructure of civilian communities and military-authorized outposts across the territory.
Israel now controls 42 percent of the West Bank through this network of settlements and outposts, the commission said. The disclosure comes as part of ongoing documentation by the Palestinian resistance organization tracking the scale and pace of settlement expansion in occupied Palestinian lands.
