Israeli forces demolish 40 Palestinian shops in al-Eizariya amid illegal settlement expansion

Illegal settlement expansion concerns

These attacks are part of a broader illegal Israeli settlement expansion project, including the E1 plan.

The governorate said Israeli authorities had verbally notified owners to evacuate by Sunday morning, threatening to destroy facilities and their contents.

Human rights organisations have accused authorities of pressuring Palestinians to restrict construction in the occupied East Jerusalem while simultaneously accelerating illegal settlement expansion.

Since the start of the genocide in October 2023, Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank have intensified, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,155 Palestinians and the destruction of 11,000 vehicles.
