¹Recently, we took @IsraelHayomEng journalist Yifat Erlich round Judea & Samaria for an in-depth field tour to learn about a phenomenon we’ve been monitoring for ages. How does an Israeli-registered company serve as an arm of the PA’s illegal takeover of Area C? >> ²There are over 81,000 illegal Palestinian structures in Area C, but how do the vast majority of them have electricity? Some are hooked-up to the electricity grid in a pirate fashion, while many others are connected by the Jerusalem District Electric Company (JDECO).

¹Last weekend, High Court of Justice handed down a decision, allowing for hundreds of Palestinian invaders to be evicted from Training Ground 918, an IDF training zone in South Hebron Hills region.
THREAD >> ²This complicated case has been discussed in the courtrooms for no less than 20 years – a discussion that’s been based mainly on Fake News peddled by radical left-wing NGOs & the Palestinian Authority.

Last week, the Ra'am party presented draft legislation that would approve the connection of tens of thousands of illegally built homes in the Arab sector to the electricity grid. > According to @GLZRadio, the gov’t is seeking to make a deal with the Joint List: in return for the coalition passing the “Electricity Law” in the Knesset’s next session, the Joint List will either vote in favor of the state budget, or absent itself from the vote. >

¹According to our friends @NGOmonitor, the UK government has given almost $13 million to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), an NGO that works tirelessly to undermine Israel’s legal rights in Judea & Samaria. ²As part of #BattleforAreaC, PA is coordinating a legal campaign against Israel. PA creates facts on the grounds, builds without permits on lands under Israeli jurisdiction, then drags out & exploits the Israeli legal process to prevent demolition orders from being executed.

📸🇮🇱 We received around 80 entries in our recent photo contest. Each photo showcased a part of beautiful #Israel. From now on, we’re going to share one photo every day. 👇🏻👇🏻 Here’s Photo no. 1, submitted by Howard Mischel. This image of the Shomron was taken from the "Gog Yisrael" lookout in Harsha, with the Mediterranean Coast in the distance. 📸

Why does Abu Talul, a Bedouin town in the Negev recognized by the Israeli gov't in 2006, still look like an illegal squatters’ camp?

▶️🔊 Find out in this short video. In a comprehensive report in 2017, Regavim outlined a Plan for the Regulation of Bedouin settlement in the Negev. Read it here: bit.ly/35YWI8J

#BattleforAreaC in numbers
:::::

Illegal Palestinian structures, built in Area C without permits:
2009: 29,784
2018: 58,435
2020: 65,572 According to official data, every year Civil Administration tears down between 200-250 structures. So even if you hear of the odd demolition, it’s like a drop in the sea. PA is carrying out mass, rapid, illegal construction, changing the map by creating facts on the ground.

Today, we held a field tour in Judea & Samaria with Likud MK @ArielKallner. The tour focused on the PA’s main project in the last decade: land grabs in Area C. We discussed challenges in #BattleforAreaC, particularly the #EU🇪🇺 backing of the PA’s illegal efforts. After the tour, MK Kallner said: “The mass take-over of Area C is planned, and purposely carried out by people who want this land for themselves. >

Key numbers in the #BattleforAreaC:

🟥In 2009, Jews populated 47,000 dunams of built-up space in Area C compared to 46,000 for Palestinians.

🟥By 2019, Palestinians held 79,000 dunams compared to 57,000 inhabited by Jews. We are losing the battle. Time to wake up & stop the incessant, EU-funded, PA-orchestrated push to grab more & more Israeli land! ⏰

This week, radical left-wing organizations & media publicized that #IDF held drills “in Palestinian villages” in Training Ground 918 & forced “local residents out of their homes”. Time to talk some facts.
THREAD 1. Training Ground 918 in the South Hebron Hills was declared a firing zone by the IDF in the early ‘80s.

2. It’s a desert area, and like all other training grounds, was empty – besides sometimes functioning as grounds for grazing.

A few weeks ago, a Bedouin man invaded into agricultural land that belongs to Moshav Nevatim & put up an illegal hut. Hut is small, but its impact has been huge: the Moshav workers aren't allowed to enter their fields to work & have received threats. 🚨
1/4 Nevatim, near Be'er Sheva, is surrounded by clusters of illegal Bedouin squatters’ camps, & has suffered for many years from crime, vandalism, burglary & agricultural theft. Recently we told you about the desecration of graves in the cemetery - bit.ly/3azpI8X

Following last night’s events in Tamra, Regavim calls on Israeli-Arab leaders to back @israelpolice in the complex battle against organized crime in the Arab sector >

https://twitter.com/ArutzSheva_En/status/1356395045675388928

> Problem of organized crime & illegal weapons in the Arab sector has caused huge damage & distress to regular, law-abiding citizens. Recent acts of enforcement are important & conducive to better security & safety for all Israeli citizens. >

⚠️ Despite the Civil Administration’s promises, the ‘Corona dump’ near Shaar Binyamin in Area C remains uncleared! And despite being caught in the act, the dumpers haven’t been indicted. 🔴
THREAD During first #Corona lockdown, tons of raw waste were trucked from Arab municipalities of #Ramallah & El Bireh to the abandoned Tariffi quarry on Route 60. The waste was dumped unceremoniously over the cliff into the quarry, creating a mountain of garbage visible for miles. >

🔻Ok, so this is quite incredible.🔻

A law that was enacted by the Jordanians in 1953 that prohibits selling land in Judea & Samaria to Jews is still in place. Yes, you read that right.

THREAD
1/5 “Law 40” was enacted during Jordan’s illegal occupation of J&S, preventing non-Arabs from purchasing private lands in the area. In 1971, Military Ruler issued an order that allows companies registered in Judea & Samaria to purchase lands, under certain conditions.

A covert police operation recently exposed a case of extortion payments in the #Negev. Over last few years, families & contractors, who were supposed to move to a location near Route 6, were victims of extortion threats amounting to hundreds of thousands of shekels.
THREAD
1/4 For around 6 months, 3 policemen from Yoav Unit (part of Police's Southern Command) disguised themselves as contractors to collect enough evidence.

Police arrested 6 suspects, all members of the same family.

❗️Don’t be fooled by these #Pallywood lies! ❗️

The truth must be voiced.📢

THREAD 👇🏻
(1/6) #Fact:

✅The school was built almost overnight this summer without the necessary permits, on land under #Israeli jurisdiction, adjacent to Kochav HaShachar!

Intention is to prevent Israeli community from growing.
