On November 3, 2025, the Israel Lands Authority (ILA), in collaboration with police, initiated Operation "Southern Hawk 3" in the Negev region. This operation aims to target Bedouin Arab settlements by utilizing AI-driven aerial scans to identify "unauthorized buildings." As part of this effort, the ILA has issued hundreds of demolition notices to affected residents.
The operation reflects ongoing tensions regarding land use and settlement in the Negev, an area that has seen various disputes over property rights and development. The use of advanced technology in this operation marks a significant step in the enforcement of building regulations in the region.
