Land clearing and tree removal in West Bank agriculture
The processes of excavation, tree uprooting, and destruction of water sources are escalating in the West Bank, especially in the governorates of Jenin, Tubas, and the northern Jordan Valley, by Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of 2026. These attacks are concentrated on agricultural lands, leading to the destruction of hundreds of dunams of land cultivated with olive trees and vegetable crops. Additionally, water wells are being destroyed, and water lines are being cut, threatening the productive capacity of farmers and their livelihoods. The excavation operations have reached the point of issuing military orders to remove tree cover, covering more than 2,480 dunams. Environmental violations include uprooting over 45,000 trees and destroying lands and water resources. Meanwhile, settlement expansion continues with the establishment of colonies and the construction of settler roads that connect and cut through large portions of agricultural land, displacing areas and restricting farmers' access, thus endangering the sustainability of the environment and agriculture in the region.
