Weekly Report: Indigenous erasure

While some of the data points are trending slightly downwards, that by no means suggests that a break in the genocide, nor anything like justice is on the horizon. Methodically, systematic, and well-articulated violence continues to shape the contours of every Palestinian city, town, and village. This is just a small snapshot of Jan 15th. The Israeli forces added new key checkpoints, disrupting traffic flow and daily life across Jerusalem. In Al- Eizariya, Israeli forces continue to engage in night raids and house searches. Jerusalem's Governor, Adnan Ghaith, faced a renewed deportation order. Settlers continue with their program to change the status quo at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, with armed incursions. In Ramallah, the closure of the Al-Mahkamahee checkpoint and the establishment of temporary checkpoints disrupted movement. The Israeli forces conducted several raids in Beitin, Al-Jalazoun camp, and nearby towns, resulting in multiple arrests and property confiscation. Israeli forces executed two Palestinian teenagers near the "Beit El" settlement. Nablus faced similar disruptions with tightened security at various checkpoints. The most impactful event occurred at Al Najah National University, where Israeli forces arrested 25 students during a campus raid. This action led to confrontations, injuring a resident, Misbah Ziad Bitar. Additionally, settlers attacked the outskirts of Burin village, targeting a civilian's home and vehicle.
