Israeli military orders to cut trees affect Palestinian land
Israeli military orders in the West Bank include the uprooting of trees and plants under the pretext of security reasons, aiming to control the areas surrounding settlements and bypass roads, according to a 2009 order numbered 1651. These operations target lands that Israeli authorities consider a security obstacle, resulting in the destruction of vegetation and turning the lands into barren areas. This poses a threat to the rights of Palestinian farmers and weakens their connection to their lands. Last year, approximately 35,000 trees were uprooted, including 27,000 olive trees. Additionally, orders were issued during the past week to remove trees from areas spanning 94, 56, and 31 dunams in Deir Nizam, Kafr Malik, and Beit Rima regions. These operations are part of a broader targeting of lands near settlements and bypass roads, often carried out with immediate orders that leave farmers little time to object. This practice jeopardizes future access and cultivation of these lands and paves the way for increased settlement activities and control.
