Dozens of Palestinian villages are asking international and Israeli activists to provide protective presence in Masafer Yatta [Original post] Sam is one of many solidarity activists who come to West Bank communities to provide protective presence and document human rights violations Dozens of Palestinian villages are asking international and Israeli activists to provide protective presence — and you can come here too [Tags: Settlement, Soldiers and Settlers, Pogrom, Baton, Raid, Agriculture, Solidarity, Living conditions, Terror, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Provocation, Appeals, Activists] [Found by: @the_andrey_x] [Location: West Bank > Masafer Yatta > Al-Khalil/Hebron > Susiya] [Archivist Notes] Historical context Since the Oslo Accords , the West Bank has been divided into three zones: zone A, theoretically under total control of the Palestinian Authority, zone B, under Palestinian administrative and Israeli security control, and zone C, totally controlled by the Israeli authorities , which corresponds to 60% of the occupied territory and where the illegal settlements under international law are located The village of Susya, a village in the Masafer Yatta region, is in zone C, very affected by occupation and colonization. Not far from the town, the Israeli army seized 3,000 hectares of land to make it a “restricted military zone”, called “918 firing zone” , where the movement of Palestinians is limited. And above all, the village adjoins an Israeli setttelment, also called Susya, established since 1983 by settlers with radical ideology. Although the Palestinian presence in Susya has been established since the beginning of the 19th century, the town is not recognized by the State of Israel. Since the 1980s, the village has been destroyed seven times. The last demolition dates from 2014. Three houses were razed. Each time, the residents rebuild, they don't want to leave. In 2012, the village first applied to enter the Israeli-administered master plan , which allows West Bank localities to be recognized for avoiding demolition and being connected to water and electricity networks After two refusals, Susya launched a third request. In Susya, 300 Palestinians live in makeshift and precarious settlements. Building real houses leads to their destruction by the Israeli army. On the roofs of houses, residents installed tarpaulins to hide from Israeli drones. As Susya is not recognized by Israel, residents are prohibited from building new facilities. But families are growing. The size of the area designated for declaration is the largest since the Oslo Accords, and the year 2024 marks a peak in the extent of declarations of state land . Since the beginning of 2024, Israel has declared 23,700 dunams of the West Bank as State Lands. Recurrent events Palestinian villagers face increasing violence and threats of expulsion from radical Israeli settlers and the Israeli army. Activists from Jewish Voice for Peace , documenting the incidents, report daily provocations by settlers who damage Palestinian farmlands by bringing their sheep to graze on them. Villages like Susya and At-Tuwani are heavily impacted. Despite being officially recognized by Israel, At-Tuwani's residents suffer attacks by settlers from nearby Israeli colonies. These attacks, including an incident where a local man, Zakaria Adra, was shot by a settler without any intervention by Israeli soldiers, are common. UN has reported that the growing settler violence and expansion could amount to war crimes Consequences on the safety and livelihoods of Palestinians Farmers Crops destroyed by settlers, further worsening economic hardships. Despite reporting these incidents to Israeli authorities, there is little hope for justice. The situation has left the community feeling isolated, constantly under threat, and forced to patrol their lands to defend against further settler aggression. Despite the pressure, some villagers remain determined not to leave their land. Chronology Since October 7 , 2023, Israeli army restrictions and settler violence have increased south of Hebron, in the Masafer Yatta region of the West Bank. Palestinians are fighting to preserve their right to stay on their land. On October 16 , 2023, Settlers attack Susya, block all its entrances with bulldozers, and destroy two water wells, fences, and areas planted with trees. On October 20, 2023, two weeks after the start of the war, the Israeli army closed access to my village, Susya, with huge blocks of stone. It has become inaccessible for those who have a small car. On October 29 , 2023, settlers issued an ultimatum that if the villagers of Susya do not vacate in 24 hours they will return to kill residents. On February 3, 2024, Israeli forces beat a young Palestinian man and arrested him while he was with his family on their land near the village of Susya in Masafer Yatta. On March 17 , 2024, Israeli extremists settlers attacked residents of Susya village. As well several shepherds has been chased by settlers in Massafer Yatta Israeli soliders confiscated a tractor for a farmer in Sheap al-Botom village. On April 2 , 2024 : two different attacks in two different places. Israeli settlers attacked and harassed Palestinian shepherd and the international activists in susya an Al_Asayfer villages, adn injuring a young man. On May 23 , 2024, activists staying with a threatened family discovered a fire in a nearby field started by a Molotov cocktail. The day before, Shem Tov Luski , from the "Susya Kaduma" outpost, visited the village with a young boy who threatened to kill a local resident. Although police were called to investigate, the responding officer, a settler from a nearby community, asked a few questions and quickly left without taking further action. On July 4 , 2024,The Higher Planning Council (HPC) approved today and yesterday (3-4/7/24) the advancement of 5,255 housing units in dozens of settlements throughout the West Bank. The building plans include the expansion of settlements deep within the West Bank and the legalization of three outposts : Mahane Gadi, Givat Hanan (Susya East) , and Kedem Arava as “neighborhoods” of existing settlements. Israeli Minister Strook described these months as 'like a time of miracles' in a recent recording where she spoke to Givat Hanan settlement residents near Susya about the increased construction in the occupied West Bank. Givat Hanan (Susya East) (Plan 513/5) – The approval of the plan for the deposit of 107 housing units in the Susya settlement is actually intended to legalize the Givat Hanan outpost, which was illegally established in 2019 . The outpost is located across an intercity road, disconnected from the Susya settlement. However, to avoid the need to declare a new settlement, it was decided to consider it a “neighborhood” of Susya and plan the construction of a bridge over intercity Road 317 to connect the two settlements. On Augustus 4 , 2024, masked Israeli settlers attacked foreign activists who were accompanying Palestinian farmers. On September 13 Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Tuwani. They entered a private yard where, according to the settlers and some questionable archaeologists, remnants of an ancient synagogue are said to be located. The soldiers then walked through the village with their weapons raised, frightening the residents. Using archaeology as a pretext for dispossession and expulsion is a well-known Zionist practice. Just earlier the same day, it was reported that the army is using claims of archaeological findings in Zanuta to prevent people from rebuilding their homes, thus preventing them from living on their land. Residents of the nearby village of Susya were also expelled from their original homes in the 1980s using similar manipulations On October 18 , 2024, During the olives harvest, a violent clash occurs where the settelers injured one farmer and one activist, under the protection of the IDF soldiers.

Some observers noted that the night pogrom took place only meters from a military base in the West Bank, without any reaction from them. Acts of violence by Jewish settlers targeting Palestinians in the West Bank have been rapidly increasing over the past few years. Last year alone saw a significant surge in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property, with over 100 incidents reported monthly. Source

An infant girl deprived of her detained journalist mother's care [Original post] An infant girl deprived of her detained journalist mother's care On March 19th, the occupation forces arrested journalist Rola Hassanin, rola separated from her infant daughter Elia by the conditions of Damon Prison, on charges of incitement on social media. Reporting: Rana Owainh Filmed: 01/11/2024 Donate/Watch/Share elsewhere👇 [Tags: Palestine Voices, Journalism, Baby, Arrest, Abducting Women, Unlawful detention, Human Dignity, Freedom of expression, Families] [Found by: TVFreePalestine, Rana Owainh] [Location: West Bank > Bethlehem] [Archivist Notes] Rula Hassanein, a 29-year-old Palestinian journalist, has gained international attention due to her recent detention by Israeli forces and the severe impact it has had on her family, especially her young daughter. Hassanein was arrested on 19 March 2024, during a raid on her home south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. Her detainment is part of a broader trend of increased arrests of Palestinian women—many of whom are journalists, activists, and mothers—under the charge of "incitement," particularly as tensions have escalated since the Gaza conflict began in early October. During the raid, Hassanein was reportedly handcuffed, blindfolded, and taken from her home despite her pleas to bring Elia with her due to the infant’s reliance on breastfeeding. Elia quickly became dehydrated following her mother’s arrest and required urgent intravenous nutrition. On July, Despite the court order for the release of journalist Rula Hassanein weeks ago, Israeli forces refuse to release her to this date. Baby's Health Needs: Rula gave birth to twins, Elia and Youssef, last year. Youssef tragically passed away three hours after birth. Her surviving daughter, Elia, required intensive care in an incubator for her first 40 days and still suffers from health issues related to her premature birth : Elia has a weakened immune system, which causes ulcers on her hands, feet, and mouth, making it challenging for her to feed. Due to these issues, she depends entirely on her mother’s breast milk, which has caused significant distress and health complications since her mother’s detention. Elia became dehydrated after her mother’s arrest and required intravenous feeding. Hassanein’s request to bring Elia to prison was denied by Israeli authorities. Her husband, Shadi Brejiya, describes the traumatic experience for their daughter, who was left screaming in distress after her mother’s removal. Rula detention conditions and health risks Prison Conditions: Initially taken to an army camp, Hassanein was later transferred to the Hasharon and then Damoun prisons, where conditions are poor. Reports from her family detail her sleeping without mattresses or blankets and surviving on one cold, insufficient meal per day, no access to essential medications for her chronic kidney disorder. Her sister, Hadeel, reported her appearance of exhaustion during her brief court appearance, where family members were prevented from interacting with her. Chronic Health Issues: Rula herself has battled a chronic kidney condition called "minimal change disease" since 2017, which requires her to receive regular medical attention and medication. The Israeli authorities denied her request to bring essential medications with her upon arrest. Broader Implications of Her Arrest Rula Hassanein’s arrest is part of a concerning surge in detentions of Palestinian women, especially journalists, on incitement charges. Many organizations have pointed out that the criteria for "incitement" are broad and often applied to social media posts that express political opinions. Her case reflects the growing number of Palestinian detainees held on administrative detention, a practice in which detainees are held without charges, subject to indefinite renewal. Escalation in Arrests of Palestinian Women: The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) reports a significant increase in the arrests of Palestinian women—journalists, activists, and mothers—on incitement charges. Many women face "administrative detention" where detainees are held without formal charges or trials, often for extended periods. Source

Masafer Yatta in West Bank under Israeli occupation, by Basel Adra [Original post] « Israël a toujours voulu voler notre terre. Ils créent les lois qu’ils veulent, quand ils veulent. » Notre émission en accès libre ➡️ https://l.mediapart.fr/EQa [Tags: Settlement, Soldiers and Settlers, Pogrom, Raid, Agriculture, Living conditions, Terror, Impunity, Property, Land theft, Provocation, Ethnic Cleansing] [Found by: Mediapart] [Location: West Bank > Masafer Yatta > Al-Khalil/Hebron > Susiya] [Archivist Notes] Historical context Since the Oslo Accords , the West Bank has been divided into three zones: zone A, theoretically under total control of the Palestinian Authority, zone B, under Palestinian administrative and Israeli security control, and zone C, totally controlled by the Israeli authorities , which corresponds to 60% of the occupied territory and where the illegal settlements under international law are located The village of Susya, a village in the Masafer Yatta region, is in zone C, very affected by occupation and colonization. Not far from the town, the Israeli army seized 3,000 hectares of land to make it a “restricted military zone”, called “918 firing zone” , where the movement of Palestinians is limited. And above all, the village adjoins an Israeli setttelment, also called Susya, established since 1983 by settlers with radical ideology. Although the Palestinian presence in Susya has been established since the beginning of the 19th century, the town is not recognized by the State of Israel. Since the 1980s, the village has been destroyed seven times. The last demolition dates from 2014. Three houses were razed. Each time, the residents rebuild, they don't want to leave. In 2012, the village first applied to enter the Israeli-administered master plan , which allows West Bank localities to be recognized for avoiding demolition and being connected to water and electricity networks After two refusals, Susya launched a third request. In Susya, 300 Palestinians live in makeshift and precarious settlements. Building real houses leads to their destruction by the Israeli army. On the roofs of houses, residents installed tarpaulins to hide from Israeli drones. As Susya is not recognized by Israel, residents are prohibited from building new facilities. But families are growing. The size of the area designated for declaration is the largest since the Oslo Accords, and the year 2024 marks a peak in the extent of declarations of state land . Since the beginning of 2024, Israel has declared 23,700 dunams of the West Bank as State Lands. Recurrent events Palestinian villagers face increasing violence and threats of expulsion from radical Israeli settlers and the Israeli army. Activists from Jewish Voice for Peace , documenting the incidents, report daily provocations by settlers who damage Palestinian farmlands by bringing their sheep to graze on them. Villages like Susya and At-Tuwani are heavily impacted. Despite being officially recognized by Israel, At-Tuwani's residents suffer attacks by settlers from nearby Israeli colonies. These attacks, including an incident where a local man, Zakaria Adra, was shot by a settler without any intervention by Israeli soldiers, are common. UN has reported that the growing settler violence and expansion could amount to war crimes Consequences on the safety and livelihoods of Palestinians Farmers Crops destroyed by settlers, further worsening economic hardships. Despite reporting these incidents to Israeli authorities, there is little hope for justice. The situation has left the community feeling isolated, constantly under threat, and forced to patrol their lands to defend against further settler aggression. Despite the pressure, some villagers remain determined not to leave their land. Chronology Since October 7 , 2023, Israeli army restrictions and settler violence have increased south of Hebron, in the Masafer Yatta region of the West Bank. Palestinians are fighting to preserve their right to stay on their land. On October 16 , 2023, Settlers attack Susya, block all its entrances with bulldozers, and destroy two water wells, fences, and areas planted with trees. On October 20, 2023, two weeks after the start of the war, the Israeli army closed access to my village, Susya, with huge blocks of stone. It has become inaccessible for those who have a small car. On October 29 , 2023, settlers issued an ultimatum that if the villagers of Susya do not vacate in 24 hours they will return to kill residents. On February 3, 2024, Israeli forces beat a young Palestinian man and arrested him while he was with his family on their land near the village of Susya in Masafer Yatta. On March 17 , 2024, Israeli extremists settlers attacked residents of Susya village. As well several shepherds has been chased by settlers in Massafer Yatta Israeli soliders confiscated a tractor for a farmer in Sheap al-Botom village. On April 2 , 2024 : two different attacks in two different places. Israeli settlers attacked and harassed Palestinian shepherd and the international activists in susya an Al_Asayfer villages, adn injuring a young man. On May 23 , 2024, activists staying with a threatened family discovered a fire in a nearby field started by a Molotov cocktail. The day before, Shem Tov Luski , from the "Susya Kaduma" outpost, visited the village with a young boy who threatened to kill a local resident. Although police were called to investigate, the responding officer, a settler from a nearby community, asked a few questions and quickly left without taking further action. On July 4 , 2024,The Higher Planning Council (HPC) approved today and yesterday (3-4/7/24) the advancement of 5,255 housing units in dozens of settlements throughout the West Bank. The building plans include the expansion of settlements deep within the West Bank and the legalization of three outposts : Mahane Gadi, Givat Hanan (Susya East) , and Kedem Arava as “neighborhoods” of existing settlements. Israeli Minister Strook described these months as 'like a time of miracles' in a recent recording where she spoke to Givat Hanan settlement residents near Susya about the increased construction in the occupied West Bank. Givat Hanan (Susya East) (Plan 513/5) – The approval of the plan for the deposit of 107 housing units in the Susya settlement is actually intended to legalize the Givat Hanan outpost, which was illegally established in 2019 . The outpost is located across an intercity road, disconnected from the Susya settlement. However, to avoid the need to declare a new settlement, it was decided to consider it a “neighborhood” of Susya and plan the construction of a bridge over intercity Road 317 to connect the two settlements. On Augustus 4 , 2024, masked Israeli settlers attacked foreign activists who were accompanying Palestinian farmers. On September 13 Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Tuwani. They entered a private yard where, according to the settlers and some questionable archaeologists, remnants of an ancient synagogue are said to be located. The soldiers then walked through the village with their weapons raised, frightening the residents. Using archaeology as a pretext for dispossession and expulsion is a well-known Zionist practice. Just earlier the same day, it was reported that the army is using claims of archaeological findings in Zanuta to prevent people from rebuilding their homes, thus preventing them from living on their land. Residents of the nearby village of Susya were also expelled from their original homes in the 1980s using similar manipulations On October 18 , 2024, During the olives harvest, a violent clash occurs where the settelers injured one farmer and one activist, under the protection of the IDF soldiers.

[Tags: Homes, Forced Displacement, Living conditions, Infrastructure, Urbicide, Ethnic Cleansing] [Found by: @samjoiner] [Location: Lebanon > South Lebanon] [Archivist Notes] In his apartment in the hills of Geitawi, Beirut, Lubnan Baalbaki scrolls through photos of his house, now in ruins. “Here’s the video of the explosion. The Israelis placed bombs all over the village. Ours just exploded, on the right,” he says. On October 26, the Israeli army detonated several homes in Odaisseh, a village located just a kilometer from the southern border, causing widespread outrage in Lebanon. The Baalbaki family, known throughout the country and with several renowned artists among them, was particularly affected. Destruction of Local Life Lubnan’s father, Abdul-Hamid Baalbaki, was an avant-garde painter also celebrated for his poetic works. He began building the Odaisseh home in the late 1980s, envisioning it as both a family retreat from Beirut and an art center for the region. In 2000, following Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, he moved there permanently. “He died in 2013, but my siblings and I often visited Odaisseh, where we kept his artworks and pottery collection,” shares Lubnan. “My father was buried beside my mother in the garden of the house. Now, everything is destroyed—even their graves.” Since the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel reignited in October 2023, the Israeli army has destroyed over a quarter of the buildings across 25 villages in southern Lebanon, according to satellite data analyzed by The Washington Post. At least eight villages have been completely leveled. Following Israel’s ground operation on September 30, several towns, like Odaisseh—captured by Israeli soldiers—were systematically demolished. “This wasn’t in the context of a battle,” says Lubnan indignantly. “They planted bombs and razed the village. They couldn’t ignore that our house was a cultural center; there’s an intent to erase the local cultural heritage.” Lubnan Baalbaki, a member of a Lebanese family of artists, says that Israeli soldiers are not only demolishing buildings but aiming to eradicate their collective memory and prevent their return. Lubnan shows photos of the house before its destruction, imbued with his father’s artistic spirit: “This house was his life’s project. I grew up there and have wonderful memories of it. Now, this family history is in ruins. Israeli soldiers are not just destroying buildings—they are erasing our collective memory and trying to prevent us from ever coming back.” In Lebanon, the war has displaced over a million people, some of whom now have no home to return to if the conflict ends. “The right to return must be a priority in any ceasefire agreement, and support for reconstruction will be essential,” says Ali Mourad, a law professor at Beirut Arab University (BAU), whose home in Aitaroun, near the border, was also destroyed by the Israeli army in October. “The destruction of entire villages is a grim omen. If people cannot go back to their homes, it will be another catastrophe with devastating consequences for the country. We have experienced too many displacements in Lebanon,” he notes. His father, Ahmad Mourad, a physician who lived in Aitaroun for nearly 25 years, fled to Beirut at the onset of the conflict. “Where will he live now?” wonders Ali. He is determined to “rebuild a new home” on his father’s land but fears he “may never be able to return to Aitaroun.” Source : Le Soir.be
