- On Monday, Israeli military bulldozers razed a total of nine residences, along with five tents and five enclosures for livestock, in the West Bank village of Khallet al-Dabaa in Masafer Yatta.

- Israeli forces have carried out similar demolitions repeatedly in Masafer Yatta, displacing about 1,100 Palestinians amid settler expansion and enforcement actions approved by Israeli military authorities.
- Mohammed Rabia, village council head, said the bulldozers razed most structures, leaving residents wandering among rubble, while filmmaker Basel Adra described it as the largest demolition yet in the hamlet.
- Separately, Israeli forces prepared to demolish 116 homes across two northern West Bank refugee camps, displacing thousands in the largest such operation since 1967 and prompting widespread evacuations.
