Israeli troops aboard military vehicles stormed Wednesday Masafer Yatta area south of al-Khalil and prevented local families from setting up prefabricated homes on their own lands to live in them.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that a crew of employees from the Israeli army’s civil administration escorted by soldiers stormed al-Mafqara village east of Yatta and confiscated foundations that the residents intended to deploy before placing the mobile homes on them.
A local resident said that Israeli border soldiers seized for the second consecutive time during the current week caravan bases he prepared for his mobile home and threatened to confiscate any structural preparations he makes again on the site.
“They have confiscated in our village more than six bases used for the caravans that we intend to live in because we are forbidden to build homes or live in caves and now the caravans are also not allowed. All this is aimed at forcing us to leave our land but we will be sleeping in the open and we are not leaving our land” he affirmed.
