B'Tselem's privacy policy

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank. B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

On Sunday, 26 January 2025, around 9:00 A.M., personnel from the Civil Administration, accompanied by soldiers and equipped with three excavators, arrived in the village of Furush Beit Dajan in the Jordan Valley and demolished a seasonal home and an irrigation reservoir owned by a family of 12, including nine minors. The forces also demolished two more irrigation reservoirs belonging to two other families in the area and two structures, one used for agricultural purposes and the other for rest, owned by another family. In addition, the owners of two prefabs used for agricultural purposes were forced to dismantle them after receiving stop-work orders on 19 January 2025.
