RAMALLAH, February 3, 2026 (WAFA) - The head of the Colonization & Wall Resistance Commission (CWRC), Mu’ayyad Shaaban, declared that the Israeli occupation carried out 1872 attacks during January 2026.
Sha’ban pointed out in the monthly report of the Commission, “Violations of the Israeli Occupation State & Colonizers in the Occupied Palestinian Territories”, that the Israeli occupation forces carried out 1404 attacks, while the colonizers carried out 468 attacks. These violations were concentrated in Hebron Governorate, which witnessed 415 attacks, followed by Ramallah & al Bireh Governorate, which was subjected to 374 attacks, and Nablus Governorate, where 328 attacks were recorded. Meanwhile, 201 attacks were recorded in Jerusalem.
He noted that these assaults included armed attacks on Palestinian villages, imposing facts on the ground, field executions, vandalism, land bulldozing, uprooting trees, seizure of property, and the establishment of closures and barriers that restrict the connections within Palestinian territories.
Shaaban explained that the attacks took various forms, including direct physical violence, uprooting trees, burning fields, preventing farmers from accessing their land, seizing property, and demolishing homes and agricultural facilities. He also noted that these attacks are accompanied by the occupying forces closing off large areas of Palestinian land under the pretext of "security." Simultaneously, they provide protection and support for colonizers to expand within these areas.
Shaaban further noted that the colonizers committed 349 acts of vandalism and theft against Palestinian property, affecting extensive areas of land. Under the protection of the Israeli occupation army, these attacks led to the uprooting, vandalism, and poisoning of 1245 olive trees. The distribution of the damage was as follows: 750 trees in Hebron, 245 trees in Ramallah & al Bireh governorate, 250 trees in Nablus. In addition, the Israeli occupation destroyed 151,000 tobacco seedlings belonging to citizens in Jenin Governorate.
Hr emphasized that these facts reaffirm that what is happening is not a series of isolated attacks, but rather a systematic policy of forced displacement carried out through colonial terrorism and under the direct protection of the occupying power. This policy aims to empty the land of its inhabitants and dismantle the Palestinian presence in Bedouin communities.
He added that the expulsion of families and the destruction of property, land, and trees represent a compounded crime against humanity and the land. This is an integral part of a gradual, de facto annexation project managed through intensified terrorism, which has persisted despite the clear nature of the crimes and continuous condemnation from the international community.
