Enforcement teams from the Civil Administration’s inspection unit, operating alongside IDF forces, carried out a series of widespread operations across Judea and Samaria in recent days, demolishing dozens of structures and utility setups erected without permits.
In the village of Isawiya, adjacent to the Duvdevan elite unit base, forces razed 10 buildings that operational authorities determined posed an active security hazard to troops. In northern Samaria, forces dismantled 11 additional unauthorized buildings along Axis Discount, while 16 illegal structures were demolished within the operational sector of the Judea Regional Brigade.
In addition, enforcement units operating in the Jericho basin discovered and neutralized four pirate water drilling installations that authorities confirmed were operating for illegal aquifer extraction.
The coordinated operations were carried out under enforcement policies governing Area C, aimed at curbing unauthorized construction and unlawful land acquisition. Sources close to Minister within the Defense Ministry Bezalel Smotrich emphasized that the sweeps represent a stepped-up drive to heighten enforcement and halt unilateral facts on the ground.
“We will continue to fight with all our strength against illegal land takeovers and protect the homeland’s territory,” the minister’s office said. “Resolute enforcement on the ground is the most definitive response to the ‘Palestinian’ Authority’s systematic campaigns to create facts on the ground and undermine the security of Israel.”
