Israel demolishes eight more Palestinian buildings in West Bank

Israel has demolished eight under-construction houses owned by Palestinians in the village of al-Dyouk al-Tahta of the occupied West Bank.

The official Wafa news agency reported that the military forces of the regime raided the village on Monday.

Issam Smeirat, a veteran activist against Israeli settlements, said most of the houses were owned by Palestinians from occupied East al-Quds. He said each of the houses was about 130-150 square meters.

Separately, the ‘supreme court’ of Israel gave the army the green light to go ahead with the demolition of some Palestinian structures and residential facilities in Masafer Yatta area, south of al-Khalil, the Palestinian media said. Nedal Younes, the head of the area council, said the court rejected a petition submitted by residents against the imminent demolition of two schools and over 30 residential facilities.

In May, the Israeli military demolished several homes. The move displaced over 1,000 Palestinians living across Masafer Yatta and it was in line with plans to turn the area into a training and firing zone.
