Israel transforms northern West Bank into Gaza-like area
The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported that the northern West Bank is now considered a miniature version of Gaza, witnessing a rise in violations and Israeli settlement actions. Settlements have regained control over areas that had been evacuated since 2005, and new settlement outposts have been established, accompanied by systematic destruction of Palestinian properties along roads, including homes and farms—reflecting a decision to demolish northern parts of the West Bank. The newspaper confirmed that settlement activities continue through the demolition of structures and restrictions on Palestinians, with an increasing number of attacks against farmers and olive trees during the harvest season. The UN documented over 1,600 incidents of violence by settlers in the first eight months of 2026. It also pointed to growing economic risks for the Palestinian population, especially due to reduced permits and the displacement of workers, which threatens the sustainability of vital agricultural activities relied upon by more than half a million Palestinians.
