9,000 Demolition Notices
The Commission Against the Wall and Settlements recorded 9,518 notices to demolish Palestinian structures or halt their construction from 2015 through the end of September. Of these, 344 were issued in the first nine months of the current year. The commission said the notices are used to pressure residents and restrict construction and expansion. The number peaked in 2023, at 1,333 notices. Hebron was the most targeted area, with 2,697 notices, while the approval rate for Palestinian permit applications in areas classified as “Area C” is no more than 4%. The report concluded that these measures violate international law, noting that a military order allows some buildings to be demolished within 96 hours of notice.
