Israel orders evacuation of Bedouin community in West Bank

The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of a Bedouin community in the central West Bank, detaining three foreign activists during the operation. Residents of the Khalayel encampment, who previously faced displacement, fear illegal settlers will occupy their land. Reports indicate a surge in settler attacks since October 2023, with the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission noting thousands of aggressions against Palestinians. The UN and the International Court of Justice have condemned Israeli settlements as illegal, undermining peace efforts.
