Nine homes, five tents and five animal pens were demolished, said Mohammed Rabia, head of the village council in the area.
COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for administrative affairs in the occupied West Bank, said it demolished the buildings because they were built illegally in an area designated as a closed firing zone.
Palestinians have long said that securing Israeli permission to build in the West Bank is nearly impossible.
Not really that big of a deal (/s), it’s far from the first time that they’ve demolished swaths of homes to ensure the Palestinians have nowhere to live once they won an appeal to regain their land.
I done seen them doing it with my own eyeballs.
It’s atrocious, for sure, but it’s far from unexpected. I’m glad lights are still being shone on this fuckery.
They won’t win. They are bulldozing it for condos.
