Israeli Military Demolishes

The Israeli military demolished the Yanon Mixed Basic School in Khirbet Yanon on 10 July 2026, ending the hamlet’s only educational facility.
By 28 December 2025, repeated attacks and movement restrictions had reduced the hamlet’s 15 families to a single family.

Smotrich Settlement Drive

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced on July 6 a goal to settle more Jews in the Negev and Galilee, targeting Palestinian-Israeli areas.
A report logged 185 outposts and over 40,000 housing units, giving settlers control of 1.1 million dunams (18 % of the West Bank).
Israeli police said investigations of violence rose 560 percent since 2019, yet 6.6 percent led to indictment, prompting Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to call the attackers “150, or so, juvenile delinquents.”

History

Historical Context

In June 1967 Israel fought the Six-Day War, capturing the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights from Jordan, Egypt and Syria. The occupation has persisted, leading to periodic raids, exemplified by 2026 operations in Huwara, Al-Mazra’a Al-Sharqiya and Khirbet Yanon, where Israeli forces seized land and demolished homes.
