Ramallah 1-12-2022 - The Colonization & Wall Resistance Commission (CWRC) stated that during November 2022, the Israeli Occupation Authorities as well as the colonizers carried out 833 attacks, including direct assault on Palestinian citizens, vandalism, bulldozing lands, uprooting trees, property confiscation, closures, checkpoints, and physical injuries.

Meanwhile, there were 111 colonial attacks in Nablus governorate. Mu’ayyad Sha’ban, the Head of CWRC, said that the first features of the Israeli new became clear; as this government raises three major slogans: the colonial expansion, legalizing outposts, and facilitating shooting at Palestinians. This may explain the recent occupation escalation occurring these days. Israel started implementing the government's colonial project even before its formation was officially announced.
The Commission also indicated that the number of attacks perpetrated by Israeli colonizers, during November 2022, is 159 attacks, including their attempt to establish 11 new colonial outposts in several areas. The colonizers’ attacks concentrated this month in Nablus governorate which witnessed 51 attacks, and Ramallah governorate which witnessed 36 attacks.
Moreover, Shaa’ban said, "In November, the Israeli occupation authorities issued 57 notices, including demolition notices or moratorium construction under the pretext of non-licensing, most of which were concentrated in the governorates of Salfit and Jericho.
In its report, the Commission pointed out that the Israeli occupation forces and its colonizers bulldozed more than 797 dunums of citizens' lands in the governorates of Salfit, Nablus, Tubas, and Jericho, aiming at confiscating these lands for the benefit of the colonizers.
Furthermore, Shaa’ban indicated that the demolitions carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, during the month of November, are 46 demolitions targeted 70 houses, commercial facilities, and sources of livelihood. These demolition operations concentrated in the governorates of Salfit, Hebron, and Ramallah.
He pointed out that, in November, 2,780 trees were uprooted by Israeli colonizers, most of which were olive trees. (1,389 trees were uprooted in Salfit governorate, 659 trees uprooted in the Ramallah governorate, and 230 trees in Qalqilia governorate).
Mr. Shaa’ban indicated that the Israeli Occupation Authorities granted planning permission on lands previously seized and declared as “State Lands” in 1984, with an area of more than 360 dunums on the lands of the villages of Bidya and Kafr al-Dik in Salfit governorate. Through this, the Israeli Occupation Authorities seek to legalize the so called "Tal Shehret" outpost, which was built on the lands of the citizens there.
Shaa’ban noted that the Israeli Occupation Authorities, in the month of October, had deposited and approved 7 new colonial plans in order to change the lands’ classification within these colonies.
