RAMALLAH, September 2, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation authorities announced on Tuesday the seizure of 455.58 dunams of land belonging to the villages of Jit and Farata, east of Qalqilia, and Tell, west of Nablus, declaring them so-called “state land” as part of efforts to seize more Palestinian territory, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.

The commission affirmed in a statement that the new announcement targets the area where the Havat Gilad colonial outpost is located, established in 2003 on the lands of the three villages of Jit, Far‘ata, and Tal.

The occupation authorities aim through this seizure to regularize the status of a colonial outpost established in the area, Havat Gilad, which the occupation government announced its intention to regularize years ago.

With this seizure, the total land seized under the “state land” designation since the far-right government took office in early 2023 has risen to over 26,000 dunams, issued through 13 separate announcements.
