West Bank home demolitions intensify
The Israeli occupation forces have intensified their policy of demolishing and blowing up homes and structures in the West Bank. Today alone, 27 commercial and agricultural facilities were targeted east of Jenin after their storming and the closure of the roads leading to them. These attacks included inhabited homes, such as a house in Hebron that is over 70 years old and a house in the village of Ma'sara south of Bethlehem, as well as agricultural and commercial structures. In July, Israel carried out 80 demolition operations that affected 165 facilities, including 80 homes. The occupation justifies these actions as "unlicensed construction," despite this being a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Meanwhile, assaults by the occupation forces and settlers against Palestinians—arresting and shooting at them—are intensifying, reflecting a broader expansion of policies of forced displacement and demographic and geographic changes in the region.
