The Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said on 12 October 2026 that armed Israeli occupiers stormed homes in Khirbet Ras al-Ahmar, southeast of Tubas in the northern West Bank, and threatened residents with death, forcing four families to leave, and that the remaining 47 families face forced displacement, Anadolu reported. The commission said the village has been under an Israeli blockade for nearly a month, with access roads closed, a trench dug across the last access road in mid-September, six water wells demolished, pumps confiscated and water lines repeatedly cut, and that on 10 October Israelis gave the 47 families until the following evening to leave. The village is not geolocated in the source, so the pin is approximate around Tubas.
