Ramallah, July 27 (Petra) - Israeli occupation authorities issued new military orders on Monday to annex 498 dunams of Palestinian land across eastern Tubas in the north of the West Bank.

The orders target land in Tubas, Tayasir, Aqabah, Ibziq, and Raba, according to the Tubas Governorate. The land grab advances the occupation’s "Crimson Thread" military barrier project, launched late 2025.

Data from the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission revealed that 360,172 dunams (about 72% of the targeted area) had previously been designated by Israel as "state land." It followed earlier land seizures and closures across the northern Jordan Valley in the West Bank, where the Israeli army also destroyed farmland and water pipelines in Atouf, severely damaging the local economy.
