The Israeli occupation army on Tuesday demolished three tents used as cattle sheds in Khirbet Ibziq hamlet in the northeast of Tubas and the Jordan Valley.
According to local sources Israeli forces stormed Khirbet Ibziq with bulldozers declared it a closed military zone and prevented local residents from entering or leaving it before embarking on razing the tents.
The three cattle tents or shelters belonged to local residents identified as Mohamed al-Harroub and Adel al-Harroub.
About two weeks ago the Israeli army handed three families in the hamlet demolition ultimatums against several structures.
According to human rights group B’Tselem scores of farming-shepherding communities which are home to thousands of Palestinians dot the 60 percent of the occupied West Bank designated as Area C.
For decades the Israeli occupation authority has pursued a demolition and displacement policy aimed at driving out these communities by making their living conditions intolerable as a prelude to taking over these areas in a de-facto annexation that would facilitate actual annexation to Israel later if any final agreement was brokered with the Palestinian Authority.
