Israeli army to raze Palestinian school homes in Masafer Yatta

Tuesday 15-March-2022

The Israeli occupation army delivered on Monday stop-work and demolition orders against a school and several homes in Shuaab al-Butam village in Masafer Yatta south of al-Khalil.

Local official Fuaad al-Amour said that Israeli soldiers delivered demolition orders against a newly constructed school in Shuaab al-Butam village in Masafer Yatta.

The school was built by the Palestinian Authority to serve 50 boy and girl students from Masafer Yatta which consists of 19 hamlets.

Eight local residents also received similar orders against their homes and cattle sheds in the village.

The orders were issued at the pretext that the structures were built in Area C of the West Bank which is under full Israeli military control and where Palestinian urban development and construction are not allowed.

However the Israeli army uses this occupied Palestinian territory (Area C) which makes up over 60 percent of the total area of the West Bank to build illegal settlements outposts and projects for Jewish settlers.
