IOF to raze three homes one cattle shed in al-Khalil

Tuesday 2-February-2021

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Tuesday delivered demolition notices against three homes and one cattle shed in the south of al-Khalil at the pretext of unlicensed construction.

Local official Rateb al-Jabour said that the IOF handed Fawzi Abu Tubaikh four military demolition orders against three houses and one cattle shack belonging to him in Umm al-Amd area in the west of Yatta town.

For decades Israel has pursued a policy of forced eviction and demolition of homes of Palestinians living the occupied Palestinian territories.

Every year the scale of the destruction carried out by the Israeli occupation authority in the West Bank and Jerusalem escalates and reaches unprecedented levels.

The victims are often amongst the poorest and most disadvantaged in the occupied Palestinian areas. Most of the houses demolished by the Israeli army in the West Bank and Jerusalem were the homes of refugee families who were expelled by Israeli forces or who fled in the war that followed the creation of Israel in 1948.
