Jewish Israeli settlers establish more than twelve new settlements throughout the West Bank immediately following the implementation of the Wye Memorandum, heeding Ariel Sharon's call to "grab" as much land as possible.

Standard practices include the razing of Palestinian houses in search of "Jewish archaeological remains" and establishing "nature reserves" for later conversion to Jewish housing.
