Event Notes

Total evacuation of Arraba village for re-establishing an Israeli military camp

on February 9, 2026, following orders to forcibly relocate from the area known as Ma‘askar ʿArraba (Arraba Camp) in the Jenin governorate, Israeli forces are compelling families to evacuate their homes and forcibly displace them, in preparation for re-establishing a military camp on the town's land.

Israeli forces issued evacuation orders to Palestinian families living in the area, forcing them to leave their homes under threat of arrest and confiscation of livestock, because the army intends to return to the site and re-establish a military post there. The report includes testimonies of residents forced to pack up quickly and leave.

The Palestinian families who had lived there for many years were hurriedly moving their possessions and livestock to other locations under pressure from the occupation forces. Local officials said residents were threatened with detention if they did not comply. The site had previously been abandoned under the 2005 disengagement plan.
