Residents of al-Mughayyir in the West Bank report being progressively confined to smaller areas of their own village, according to Al Jazeera English. Palestinians say they face pressure from Israeli settlers who have expanded into territory the village historically occupied, limiting space for homes, agriculture, and movement.
The village has experienced repeated cycles of settler encroachment, with residents describing their situation as a form of siege that restricts access to resources and land they depend on for survival.
