A-Da’ak community, southwest of Kobar, Ramallah District: Another community forcibly displaced by settlers and military

The community was located in the a-Da’ak area, on land belonging to the village of Kobar, southwest of the village itself, for at least 15 years. It consisted of six families, with a total of 19 members, about half of them children. The residents lived in tents and raised about 50 sheep in tin livestock pens.

During Ramadan of 2025, settlers established an outpost near the community and began harassing its residents. On 11 June 2025, soldiers arrived and informed the residents that they had 24 hours to leave. The residents removed their livestock from the site that night and then moved out of the area, leaving some belongings behind. They relocated to a site near the neighboring village of Burham, in Area B.

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank.
B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
