APLA's Report
What is going on today encapsulates all episodes of the 76-year-long Israeli occupation of Palestine. It represents the culmination of eight decades of Israel’s tyranny, which has cost Palestinians dearly. Witnessing the loss of thousands of lives and large-scale destruction, it is clear that the occupation has now taken on new proportions that do not only impact citizens, but all sectors as well.Gaza Municipalities in Confrontation of Spatial Destruction and Reshaping GeographyThe targeting of municipal services is one facet of systematic assaults in all the wars launched by the Israeli occupying forces (IOF), which have not spared any aspect of life. During the 2023 war on Gaza, the IOF have committed genocide, unmatched in history, against Palestinians. Service facilities have been subject to countless attacks. A number of municipal...

Mass Destruction and Jenin Municipality's Efforts in Reconstruction
In northern West Bank, Jenin has gained centre stage in recent months. The Israeli occupying forces (IOF) have evoked scenes of the second Palestinian Intifada of 2002. At dawn on 28 August 2024, the IOF launched a “military operation,” considered to be the most extensive ever since. Supported by armoured and air forces, large numbers of IOF troops raided the Jenin city and stormed portions of the Jenin refugee camp, which lies within the boundaries of the Jenin Municipality. In particular, the IOF targeted infrastructure of the Jenin city and refugee camp. As a result, the IOF completely destroyed 32.3% of roads, 24.48% of the water grid, and 36.36% of sewerage networks (These figures are expected to increase given that the military campaign has not come to an end yet). In addition to communication and electricity cables, almost 70% o...

The City’s Resilience in the Face of Systematic Destruction
Tulkarm has not been spared from the horrors across the West Bank. It has been a frontline of confrontation with the Israeli aggression. What is going on here replicates Israel’s war on Gaza. The same destructive mindset decides to besiege and destroy the city, killing dozens of citizens and leaving hundreds others with various wounds. The Israeli occupying forces (IOF) have systematically destroyed infrastructure, private and public property to put pressure on citizens and disrupt functions of Tulkarm Municipality as a service provider.Since the first day of the war on Gaza and West Bank cities, the municipality has risen to the occasion, declared a state of extreme emergency, and mobilized all resources to empower and alleviate suffering of the local community. Under a tight siege, the city has been subject to over 22 raids and surro...
