Israeli authorities have issued military orders to seize Palestinian land in the West Bank for settlement and military purposes. In Al-Bireh, approximately 15.342 dunams were seized to establish a 3,835-meter security path around the Basagot settlement, a move expected to restrict access to an additional 380 dunams in the Jabal al-Tawil area.

In Beitunia, west of Ramallah, the military ordered the seizure of approximately 37.5 dunams to expand a military site near the Beit Horon settlement and Highway 443. These actions are part of a broader pattern of land seizures in the region, with reports indicating dozens of similar orders issued in recent months to create buffer zones and contiguous areas under Israeli military control.
