The Israeli military confirmed that Israeli families entered several buildings near Jericho, located in Area C, without prior coordination or permits. The army stated that a review of the land ownership status will continue next week. For the time being, access to and from the site will be permitted during specific hours daily, under military guard. Meanwhile, two families from the Bedouin community have chosen to leave their temporary residences, according to Kan reporter Itay Blumenthal. The military spokesperson clarified that the army had contacted the families and offered assistance to prevent their departure, but they refused the offer. The army also affirmed that it will take necessary measures to ensure no unauthorized entry into the evacuated buildings.

The military's statement comes after reports of Israeli families occupying buildings in Area C, a designation that places these areas under full Israeli security and civil control. The process of reviewing land ownership is complex and often involves contested claims. The IDF's involvement highlights the security implications of such civilian movements into sensitive areas.
