Archivist Notes: Demolition and eviction in Deir Ibzi

On February 11, 2025, 10 Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by two bulldozers, stormed the village of Deir Ibzi', west of Ramallah, on the morning, and demolished a two-story house under the pretext that it was built without a permit.

  • The targeted house is owned by local resident Ihab Al-Sa'afin, and that 16 people live in it.

  • Its area is 200 square meters.

Context :

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Deir Ibzi has been under Israeli occupation. The population in the 1967 census conducted by the Israeli authorities was 536, 34 of whom originated from the Israeli territory. After the 1995 accords, 27% of village land was classified as Area B, the remaining 73% as Area C. Israel has confiscated land from Deir Ibzi for bypass roads, in addition to 22 dunams taken for the Israeli settlement of Dolev.This included spring Ein Bubin, now used by the Israeli settlers in Dolev for their own irrigation projects.

The report of the 'Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission' stated that the occupation authorities carried out 76 demolition operations last January, affecting 126 facilities, including 74 inhabited homes, 4 uninhabited ones, and 29 agricultural and other facilities. They were concentrated in the Jenin governorates, with the demolition of 47 facilities, then the Jerusalem governorate with 14 facilities, Qalqilya with 11, and Bethlehem and Nablus with 10 facilities each.
