Palestinian Authority\u2019s official Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Moayad Shaaban, announced the commission\u2019s findings for the year 2025 at a press conference. According to the report, between January and December 2025, Israeli settlers conducted 892 attacks on Palestinians, killing 14 people in the West Bank. Settler attacks also provoked 434 fires, 127 of which affected farmland, and 307 fires against other Palestinian properties. These attacks concentrated in the areas surrounding Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, and Tulkarem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also indicated that in 2025, 35,273 trees were destroyed and poisoned, including 26,988 olive trees in the areas of Salfit, Nablus, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Hebron. This was coupled with a wave of demolitions by the Israeli army, which leveled 1,400 Palestinian structures that year, including 304 inhabited homes, 74 uninhabited houses, 4,900 farming structures, and 270 other livelihood structures. Demolitions, according to the report, concentrated in Ramallah, Nablus, Tubas, Hebron, and Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year ago, Shaaban told <em>Mondoweiss<\/em> that settlers\u2019 violence was \u201can arm of Israel\u2019s annexation policy.\u201d Shaaban also said that his commission had pursued a strategy of establishing a humanitarian presence on the ground to confront these policies, especially through the mobilization of volunteers from local communities. Shaaban explained that the commission worked on \u201cenhancing local steadfastness,\u201d pointing out that volunteers supported Palestinian farmers in accessing their lands in almost 60 percent of the villages threatened by settler violence during the 2024 olive harvest season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But conditions in the West Bank countryside have deteriorated dramatically since then. The olive harvest season marked a record low this past October, yielding a meager 7,000 tons of olive oil, compared to the 27,000 tons produced last year, according to estimates by the PA Ministry of Agriculture and other Palestinian research centers. The low production totals for 2025 are close to those in 2023, when the events of October 7 coincided with the height of the harvest season and were immediately followed by a dramatic spike in settler violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, as attention centers on Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon, Israel continues to escalate its clear strategy of de facto annexation in the West Bank, targeting a maximum of Palestinian territories while isolating Palestinian population concentrations. The ongoing displacement of Palestinian communities is coupled with the rapid expansion of settlement construction and the legalization of previously illegal settler outposts under Israeli law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, the Israeli government announced the legalization of five new settler outposts in the West Bank built on Palestinian land, while last year, Israel advanced this strategy by issuing permits to build <a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2025\/06\/israel-just-took-another-huge-step-towards-west-bank-annexation-explained\/\">22 new settlements<\/a>, one of the largest ever settlement expansion plans in decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lives Torn Apart<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Palestinians, the impact of this violence and colonization cuts deep into daily life. In rural areas, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2025\/07\/how-israeli-colonization-disrupts-the-palestinian-social-fabric-in-the-west-bank\/\">social fabric has been disrupted<\/a>, as Bedouin families are unable to sustain their livelihoods as livestock herders, lose access to grazing lands, and are forced to sell off parts of their herds to survive on the outskirts of villages and towns \u2014 areas that have also lost land since October 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yousef Khalayfeh, a Palestinian Bedouin from the Mu\u2019arrajat community, has lived with his family on the edges of the village of Rammoun near Ramallah since being displaced by Israeli settlers from his land in October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe lost our herding and grazing pastures, and with them, the capacity to continue to live off our livestock the way we\u2019ve done for generations,\u201d Khalayfeh told <em>Mondoweiss<\/em>. \u201cAfter we were displaced, we were forced to sell off a large part of our livestock, because the small space at the periphery of the villages where we had moved to isn\u2019t enough for all our herds.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut even after moving here, Israeli settlers continued to attack us where we thought we were safer,\u201d Khalayfeh continued. \u201cThey stole our sheep before our eyes, leaving us with very little capital.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khalayfeh is now forced to move the little livestock he has even closer to the village. This is creating friction with local villagers, as his small herd has wandered onto their private lands and damaged some of their olive trees, he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the village of Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, Israeli settler violence had already made the village\u2019s eastern plain inaccessible to its owners during the harvest season. Then, in August of last year, the Israeli army <a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2025\/08\/israel-wanted-to-punish-a-palestinian-village-so-it-destroyed-10000-of-its-olive-trees\/\">decided to punish the village<\/a>, after it accused a youth from Mughayyir of throwing stones at Israeli forces. The punishment? Uprooting and destroying between 8,000 and 10,000 olive trees in the plain, essentially ending the village\u2019s olive production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fayez Abu Alia, a Palestinian farmer from Mughayyir, told <em>Mondoweiss<\/em> that families\u2019 lives as farmers have been destroyed after thousands of olive trees were bulldozed. \u201cMy family lost 450 olive trees, and have only three trees left, two of them in my courtyard,\u201d Abu Alia said. \u201cWe used to make 95 to 100 tankards [of about 16 kilograms] of olive oil per year. My brothers\u2019 households and my own took our share for consumption, and I still had around 40 tankards to sell, which made some 16,000 shekels [$4,848] \u2014 an important part of my family\u2019s income.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLast year\u2019s season, in October, I only made two tankards,\u201d Abu Alia said. \u201cEach of my siblings\u2019 households got less than 5 kilograms for our own consumption, and nothing to sell. We\u2019re now forced to buy olive oil, after being producers for generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abu Alia had been a full-time farmer, and the maintenance of his family\u2019s olive groves formed a central part of his livelihood. Since losing that source of income, he explained, he has been forced to work for others to make ends meet. He added that most farmers in Mughayyir are facing similar conditions, struggling to sustain their families and remain in the village. With much of what once defined their lives now gone, he said, people are no longer planning for the future but focusing simply on staying where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying our best to maintain our lives and families in the village,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re just focused on remaining steadfast, even after losing everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"truth-post-content-after\" id=\"truth-4220044704\"><div class=\"callout inline-callout p-4 mb-5 callout-- callout--white\" id=\"truth-334871\" data-callout-id=\"334871\" data-callout-theme=\"white\" data-callout-placement=\"Post Content - After\" data-callout-title=\"2026-01 Main Campaign (FRU) Trump is silencing political dissent.
