Israeli occupation Forces (IOF) demolished on Monday a number of Palestinian facilities in the Bedouin community of Al-Ara’ara near the town of Jaba, northeast of Jerusalem.
Local sources reported that Israeli bulldozers demolished a mosque, a house sheltering a number of women and children, five sheep shacks and a car repair shop.
Citizen Najeh Ara’ara explained that the IOF demolished five sheep pens and a house that had been abandoned since the 1960s.
He added that the Bedouin community is home to more than 80 families from the Al-Jahalin tribe, noting that Israeli occupation authorities had previously marked several facilities in red in preparation for their demolition.
The escalating demolitions in the town of Jaba coincide with a large settlement expansion of the Israeli Adam settlement at the expense of the town’s lands.
