Settlers build outposts and damage property in West Bank
Settlers established new settlement outposts on Palestinian lands in Sulafiet and Ramallah, and began installing mobile caravans and preparing infrastructure, with the protection of Israeli occupation forces, as part of Israel's efforts to expand settlements and tighten restrictions on Palestinians. In June 2026, 6,856 violations were recorded by the forces and settlers across the West Bank and Jerusalem, and 11,074 attacks were carried out during the first half of the same year, leading to the displacement of dozens of Palestinian communities. Additionally, the occupation authorities approved the construction of 34 new settlements, bringing the total number of settlements approved in six months to 103, aimed at redrawing the settlement map in the region. In Ramallah, settlers established a grazing outpost on lands belonging to the village of Abu Safa, threatening access to 4,000 dunams of land cultivated with olive trees. Meanwhile, settlers attacked a water network in the village of Al-Minya, destroying facilities, and continued to prevent Palestinians from reaching grazing areas, amidst an escalation of attacks and settlement expansion in the area.
