AI Monitoring of Palestinian Lands in West Bank
The study reveals that since 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have introduced artificial intelligence technologies into the land surveillance system in the West Bank. The goal is to automatically monitor Palestinian construction and link this data to demolition and confiscation decisions. The organization relies on an internally developed system called "Emi Site," which integrates satellite images, drones, and cameras to continuously monitor changes on the ground. A new enforcement unit named "Juda and Samaria Brigade" has been established exclusively to oversee lands in the West Bank, and the workforce has increased by 20% after allocating 21 new positions in 2025. Advanced tools and techniques, such as AI-driven image analysis, are used to identify and document any new Palestinian construction, facilitating rapid execution of demolition and eviction operations. Previous experiments in the Negev demonstrated that the system successfully scans thousands of kilometers, effectively detecting buildings and suspicious areas, with demolition rates exceeding 80% of the targeted cases. As demolitions repeat and the annual demolition rate rises, it is expected that surveillance and demolition will become more intensive across the West Bank using similar automated tools, enhancing the occupation's ability to accelerate and expand efforts to unlawfully suppress Palestinian building activities.
