Israel moved additional mobile homes to the Tayasir checkpoint area east of Tubas. The action is part of plans to establish a new settlement in Tubas.
Caravans near Tayasir
Israeli occupation forces brought additional mobile homes to the vicinity of the Tayasir military checkpoint east of Tubas in the northern West Bank on Tuesday, as Palestinian officials said the move is part of plans to establish a new settlement. Mahdi Daraghmeh, head of the Al-Maleh Village Council, said Israeli occupation authorities continued transporting caravans to the site while carrying out land-leveling and bulldozing works around the checkpoint.
WAFA reported that the activity is aimed at creating new facts on the ground and further consolidating Israeli control over the area. The Arab News PK report said Mutaz Bisharat described the Goder outpost being established near the Tayasir checkpoint, where the local settlement council brought dozens of caravans onto the site and began setting up the settlement.
Synagogue and pools
Palestinian officials tied the caravan deliveries to specific planned features for the proposed settlement, including a synagogue, children’s recreational facilities, and swimming pools. WAFA said Daraghmeh added that Israeli occupation authorities were advancing plans to construct a synagogue, children's recreational facilities, and swimming pools as part of the colonial project.
The بوابة الهدف الإخبارية report said the occupation sought to establish a settlement named غودر, planned to include alongside residential units a Jewish synagogue, recreational facilities for children, and swimming pools. In the same account, مهدي دراغمة said occupation machinery and bulldozers began wide-scale land-clearing and leveling of lands surrounding the Tyasir military checkpoint camp.
Broader West Bank pressure
The reports placed the Tayasir-area activity within a wider pattern of settlement expansion and pressure on Palestinian communities across the northern Jordan Valley. Arab News PK said that in 2025 Israel expanded the municipal boundaries of 69 settlements, incorporating 8,472 dunams (about 8.47 million square meters) of land previously outside their jurisdiction, according to Peace Now.
The same Reuters-linked framing in Arab News PK said that since October 2023, when Israel launched its military campaign in Gaza following a deadly Hamas-led attack, settlers intensified incursions and expanded outposts across the West Bank. Arab News PK also cited UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs data that at least 1,988 Palestinians were displaced in the occupied West Bank in the first four months of 2026, about 20 percent more than in all of 2025, and that since January 2025 the highest number of people displaced in settler-related incidents was recorded in the Ramallah area (1,205).
