> Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank are protesting the extensive use of drones by Israeli settlers and the Israeli military, saying they feel watched constantly. Activists and researchers say the practice is partly intended to monitor new Palestinian construction. In 2026, Israel allocated 50 million shekels (more than €14 million) for so-called security equipment, including drones, for outposts and illegal settlements in the West Bank.
