In November 2025, the Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF) and Israeli settlers continued their crimes and violations against Palestinians and their properties in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
The IOF committed several killings, the most serious of which was the killing of two Palestinians in Jenin after directly opening fire at them although they had surrendered and raised their hands, in a crime constituting an extra-judicial execution.
This month witnessed widespread settler attacks against Palestinian civilians and their property, during which Israeli settlers established six new settlement outposts. Meanwhile, the IOF confiscated 1,955 dunums of land and constructed additional settlement roads.
These escalations are part of a systematic policy of ethnic cleansing targeting the Palestinian existence and are embedded within an integrated colonial system implemented with direct support from the Israeli government and all its institutions—legislative, executive, military, and security. This system seeks to impose a permanent reality of exclusion and domination while entrenching annexation and asserting sovereignty over the West Bank.
The Following is some of violations highlighted and documented by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR):

Land confiscations and settlement expansion
During the reporting period, the IOF and Israeli settlers continued their settlement expansion policy materialized in confiscating and razing Palestinian lands to establish settlement outposts and expand settlements. The Following is some of violations highlighted and documented by PCHR:
On 03 November 2025, Israeli settlers started setting up a caravan as a prelude to establish a settlement outpost on lands of Fateh Sabra area, east of Sa‘ir village in Hebron. The IOF also confiscated 14 dunums of land in Ras Karkar village in Ramallah.
On 04 November 2025, settlers established a settlement outpost on Turmus ‘Aya village’s lands in Ramallah and brought two mobile homes to the site. They also established a new settlement outpost in Qa‘un area on Bardala village’s lands in Jericho.
On 06 November 2025, the IOF issued Military Order No. (25/133/T) to confiscate 12.78 dunums in Khillat al-Faham and Wadi Abu Bakir areas, from plots 11 and 12 of al-Khader village’s lands and Al-‘Awaryed area in Beit Iskariya village in Bethlehem, under the pretext of using the land for military purposes.
On 08 November 2025, the IOF issued four military orders to confiscate 764 Palestinian-owned dunums in the northern Jordan Valley, east of Tubas city and Bardala, west of Jericho.
On 09 November 2025, settlers established a settlement outpost in Abu Ghaliyeh and al-‘Ara’ra Bedouin areas, east of ‘Anata village, northeast of occupied East Jerusalem.
On 10 November 2025, settlers began levelling Kisan village’s lands to build a settlement road on the western side of the village, serving the “Evi Hanahal” settlement outpost.
On 20 November 2025, settlers began establishing a new settlement outpost in al-Maleh area in the northern Jordan Valley, east of Tubas.
On 21 November 2025, the IOF issued a military order to seize private and state-owned lands for the construction of a 40-kilometer settlement road spanning an area of 1,042 dunums. The road is planned to start from ‘Ain Shibli village near al-Hamra checkpoint, south of Tubas, passing through the lands of Tamoun, Baqi’ah, ‘Announ, Yarza, and Tubas villages, and extending to Tayasir village, east of Tubas.
On 24 November 2025, settlers began establishing a new settlement outpost in the al-Hadidiyah area in the northern Jordan Valley, east of Tubas.
The IOF also issued a military order to seize approximately 77 dunums of al-‘Isawiya village’s lands, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, under so-called “Seizure Order No. 152/25,” citing “military needs” as the pretext. This order is part of a broader strategic plan aimed at expanding settlements in the area and linking them together, supporting the implementation of the E1 project and the “Greater Jerusalem” plan, which seeks to consolidate Israeli control over the city’s surroundings.
According to the details of the order, the IOF claim that 42.632 dunums of the confiscated land are outside the scope of “state land,” while 34.976 dunums are classified as “state land,” including areas of al-‘Isawiya. This indicates that military orders are systematically used as a tool to impose control over Palestinian lands under the pretext of security, before subsequently converting them into settlement projects, including bypass roads and the expansion of settlement blocs and outposts surrounding Jerusalem.
On 25 November 2025, the IOF issued a military order to confiscate 59 dunums of land in Zububa village, west of Jenin, for settlement expansion.

On 20 and 21 November 2025, settlers carried out four attacks in southern and western Nablus, resulting in the burning of an auto repair workshop in Huwara village, where flames consumed 150 vehicle structures, in addition to setting fire to six under-construction villas in Jabal Tarouja between Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya and ‘Amuriya villages. A plant nursery at the entrance of Udla village south of Nablus, and another nursery in Deir Sharaf village west of Nablus, were also destroyed. (More details available in PCHR’s press release.)
On 24 November 2025, three Bedouin families from the Al-‘Ara’ra Al-Ka‘abneh were forced to evacuate their homes in al-Hathroura Bedouin community near Khan al-Ahmar, east of Jerusalem, following escalating settler attacks after the establishment of a settlement outpost just tens of meters from the community. This outpost has made continuing to live in the community extremely dangerous, forcing the families to relocate to other Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley to protect their lives and property. Two other families in the same community had previously been forced to leave in recent weeks under similar attacks.
On 27 November 2025, settlers stormed the northern outskirts of Biddya village in Salfit and set fire to Al-Falah Mosque by pouring flammable materials, which burned parts of the carpets and interior walls, before fleeing the scene.
IOF Attacks in Jerusalem:
IOF’s violations and Judaization attempts continued in occupied East Jerusalem by approving the building of hundreds of new settlement units and entrenching their house demolition policy against Palestinians under various pretexts. IOF also continue to impose age-based access restrictions to Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially on Fridays, and enforce strict search procedures.
In addition to house and facility demolitions as elaborated above, PCHR documented the following:
On 09 November 2025, the IOF seized three homes in Batn al-Hawa area in Silwan neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem for the benefit of settlement associations, under the pretext that the land belongs to settlers. The three houses belong to Asmahan Al-Shweiki, her son Ahmed, and Juma‘a Odeh.
On 18 November 2025, Israeli settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque through Bab al-Asbat (Lions’ Gate) carrying animal sacrifices, in an incident described as a serious escalation in attempts to impose religious rituals inside the mosque. Footage showed them entering under the protection of Israeli police stationed at the gate, without being stopped or subjected to the usual security checks applied to Palestinians.
Restriction on freedom of movement and checkpoints
The IOF have intensified the number of checkpoints and roadblocks across the West Bank, further tightening restrictions on freedom of movement between cities and villages and isolating them from one another through checkpoints and metal detector gates placed at village entrances, exceeding 1,008 gates. Some of these gates are never opened, forcing Palestinians to cross them on foot—unless it poses a threat to their lives—to move between Palestinian cities and villages to attend to their needs. In addition to these gates, hundreds of fixed and mobile checkpoints are deployed to further restrict the movement of Palestinians.
On the evening of 18 November 2025, the IOF raided Beit Ummar village in Hebron, closed all roads leading to it, completely isolated it from its surroundings, imposed a curfew within the village, and forced shop owners to close their stores, as part of collective punishment measures, under the pretext that some of the village’s residents had carried out a stabbing attack.
At dawn on 25 November 2025, the IOF moved into Tubas city and its villages—Aqqaba to the northwest, Tammun to the southeast, Tayasir to the east, and al-Far’a Refugee Camp to the south—announcing the launch of a military operation called “The Five Stones.” The IOF closed the city’s entrances, its side roads, the villages, and the camp with sand berms, imposed a curfew, and carried out a wide-scale campaign of raids and arrests over four days.
