UN denounces Israel land-registration move in West Bank’s Area C
The United Nations human rights office in the occupied Palestinian territories says it’s “alarmed” by a decision by the Israeli security cabinet on Sunday to resume land registration in Area C of the occupied West Bank.
The UN agency said “Israel purportedly seeks to definitively establish land ownership registration in favour of Israeli settlers” by means of the process of land registration, which was suspended in 1968.
Its resumption “appears to be the latest tool used by Israel to acquire Palestinian land and consolidate the unlawful annexation of the West Bank”, it said.
“If pursued, land registration by the occupying power would likely result in further expropriation of Palestinian land and natural resources in violation of the property rights of Palestinians, as well as other rights such as the rights to housing and shelter, food, and the benefit of Israeli settlers and settlements.”
Israeli military court extends detention of female Palestinian journalist
An Israeli military court has extended the detention of journalist Haneen Qawareeq, 24, on suspicion of “incitement” on social media until Thursday.

She was sent to Hasharon Prison before being transferred to Damon Prison, where she is currently being held without any formal charges against her.
Qawareeq is among more than 180 Palestinian journalists detained by the Israeli military since the start of the war on Gaza, with some 50 still imprisoned, according to the monitors.

Israeli settlers protected by soldiers wounded two Palestinians and detained others during an attack on the village of Khallet al-Dabaa south of Hebron.
The settlers assaulted the Palestinians with clubs and sharp objects, resulting in one person suffering a head wound that required transfer to hospital, according to the Wafa news agency. The Israeli soldiers initially stopped the ambulance from leaving.
Israeli forces also raided the town of Yabad, southwest of Jenin, which was also assaulted on Monday. In the town of Jabal Mukaber, south of occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli authorities forced a Palestinian citizen to demolish his own home, which housed eight people, based on the claim that it lacked a permit.
