Israeli demolitions of Palestinian structures in West Bank

Overview

Israeli authorities have conducted demolitions of Palestinian structures in the West Bank, specifically targeting areas near Hebron. In the Hirbet Hamsa region, military bulldozers were used to destroy homes, mobile dwellings, and agricultural facilities. Local officials alleged these actions aim to create an “illegal ‘settlement belt’” to sever connections between rural areas and the cities of Dura and Hebron. While authorities claimed the targeted areas were “state land,” residents cited Ottoman-era deeds and a 1985 court ruling to support their ownership.

In the Hallete ed-Deyrat area, the Israeli military demolished a 130-square-meter home, leaving two families homeless. The homeowner stated the demolition was executed under the pretext of lacking permits, a claim made by residents who argue that construction permits are systematically denied to Palestinians in Area C. These incidents occur amid a documented rise in raids, attacks, and restrictions on water, electricity, and construction access in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
