Israeli Army Demolishes Palestinian Homes - West Bank
The Israeli Civil Administration and Israeli border police demolish a home in the village of Al-Jawaya, located in the Masafer Yatta region of the southern West Bank on May 7, 2024. The forces cleared the house out, blocked the family from entering the premise, and then demolished the two-story home with one bulldozer and two excavators. The house was home to a family of eleven, including nine children. Since October 7th, the only access road to Al-Jawaya has been closed off by the Israeli military. Palestinians living in Area C of the West Bank are required to apply for a building permit in order to build or modify any structure on their property. Civil Administration, who is responsible for processing the permit applications, denies 98% of the requests. Therefore, a large majority of homes, barns, schools, bathrooms and water wells in Area C are subject to demolition orders from the Israeli military.
