> Israeli forces are demolishing Palestinian homes in villages including Al-Zweidin, displacing families and destroying essential infrastructure such as water wells. An average of 122 Palestinian structures are demolished each month. Settlers and soldiers also jointly attack communities such as Al-Mughayyir, burning fields and targeting homes. Up to 60 percent of village land has been confiscated, while at least 11 illegal outposts have been established. In all, 119 communities have been uprooted, leaving Palestinians treated as trespassers on their own land.
