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.
Thanks, it’s very irritating when people falsely assume my positions, even if I’ve repeatedly done the opposite of what they claim.
Pivoting on Israel would have been a significant gain during the election, as dozens of poll on policy show. But that’s yesterday’s news. Palestine is still a critical component of the current resistance against fascism in America. Progressives gaining control of the Democratic Party are our best shot to a genuine opposition to fascism going forward. I do hope elections can be a meaningful path for this opposition, but from what I’ve learned about fascism/imperialism/colonialism and resistance movements that have successfully overthrown them; armed struggle, while a last resort, can never be ruled out
