- This area is more than a third of total Area C land.
- Farms occupy significantly more land than Israeli towns and cities in Area C.

A newly revealed map from the Israeli Farms Association shows that Israeli farms currently control over 1.1 million dunams (approximately 270,000 acres) within Area C of the West Bank. This represents more than a third of the total Area C land, which spans about 3.5 million dunams. The area occupied by these farms significantly surpasses the land held by Israeli towns and cities in Area C, which collectively amount to only around 200,000 dunams.
The map indicates that approximately 130 farms are currently operating across Area C. The association notes a substantial expansion in recent years, with around 40 new farms established in the last two years alone. The distribution of these farms is concentrated in specific regions, including the Jordan Valley, eastern Samaria, eastern Benjamin, and large areas in southern Mount Hebron.
Previously kept within internal Farm Association forums, the map has now been fully disclosed to illustrate the gradual expansion and the extent of land utilized by these agricultural outposts. The Israeli Farms Association intends to continue this expansion, aiming to establish additional farms in Area C and assert de facto control over another million dunams.
