According to Press TV, on Thursday, Zionist regime’s soldiers and bulldozers rolled into the hamlets of al-Farisiya and Khallet al-Khader, and leveled seven homes to the ground. The Zionist forces also destroyed 35 structures in the villages of Bardala and Ein al-Beida.
Rabih Khandaqji, the Mayor of the nearby city of Tubas, said local and international organizations are trying to help the displaced Palestinians and possibly rebuild their destroyed structures.
The development came only two days after Zionist forces destroyed over 10 Palestinian houses and residential structures in the village of Khirbet Tana, which lies east of Nablus.
Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official who monitors the Israeli regime’s settlement activities, said Zionist officials claimed that the houses and structures had been built illegally in an area declared by Tel Aviv as a “firing zone” for military training.
Rights groups say the demolition of Palestinian homes is in line with Israel’s policy of expansion of illegal settlements and land expropriation.
The United Nations and most countries regard the Zionist regime’s settlements as illegal because the territories were captured by Israel in a war in 1967 and are hence subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied lands.
