Buildings, traffic Storyline Israeli forces and settlers carried out a total of 1,659 violations in the West Bank during May, said a monthly report from the Palestine Liberation Organization's Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission. The Commission's head, Mu'ayyad Sha'ban, said the Israeli forces carried out 1,108 attacks, while the settlers carried out 551. According to Sha'ban, the form of the attacks varied, including direct physical violence, uprooting of trees, burning of fields, denial of farmers' access to their land, seizure of property, and demolition of homes and agricultural structures. Sha'ban said that the pattern of attacks clearly reveals the adoption of systematic policies aimed at imposing a coercive, expulsive environment. He said these policies translate into forced displacement operations. Sha'ban said the displacement of families and destruction of property, land, and trees constitutes a compound crime targeting both people and place, adding that these actions are part of a project of gradual de facto annexation managed through organized escalation of violence. Sha'ban said that the Israeli settlers attempted to establish 12 new settlement outposts since the beginning of May. In addition, the Israeli forces carried out 70 demolition operations in May targeting 155 facilities and distributed 51 demolition notifications for Palestinian facilities, Sha'ban said.
