Israel Demolishes West Bank Village, Displaces 12 Families in Escalation

Israeli forces demolished Khirbet al-Taban in Masafer Yatta, displacing 12 Palestinian families, amid a broader campaign of settler attacks, arrests, and demolitions. The incident marks an escalation in Israel's organized efforts to assert control over the West Bank, with 100,000 dunams reportedly issued for settlement expansion. The move is likely to heighten regional tensions and international scrutiny.
