Israeli demolition operations in the West Bank

Overview

Israeli military and settler activities in the West Bank have involved the demolition of Palestinian structures and the uprooting of trees. In late August 2026, military forces demolished agricultural buildings and livestock sheds in Duma, south of Nablus, and distributed demolition notices in Kafr Aqab near Jerusalem.

By the end of August 2026, operations expanded to include the demolition of residential buildings in Birzeit and Nablus. Concurrently, in Beita, settler bulldozers uprooted olive trees and cleared land to facilitate the construction of a settlement road. Reports from local commissions indicate a pattern of demolition operations affecting both inhabited homes and agricultural facilities across various governorates, including Qalqilya, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Hebron.

On August 29, 2026, widespread military raids, arrests, and demolitions continued. In Nablus, forces demolished a home and two residential buildings in the Al-Taawun Al-Alawi neighborhood, and operations in the Old City resulted in an injury to a young man. In Birzeit, two residential buildings were demolished. Military incursions and arrests were also reported in Tulkarm, Saida, Allar, Atil, Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem, Tubas, Jenin, and Jericho.

Settler activity remains a factor, with continued reports of olive tree uprooting in Beita and infrastructure work for new outposts. Data from the Wall Against the Wall and Settlement Authority indicated that during July, Israeli authorities demolished 155 Palestinian structures, including 39 inhabited homes.
