Israeli occupation forces demolished ten Palestinian homes and two structures across the occupied West Bank on Monday, including in several neighborhoods of occupied Jerusalem, in large-scale operations targeting residential, agricultural, and commercial properties.
In Jerusalem, forces demolished a home in the Al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan and forced the Rimawi family to self-demolish three homes in Jabal Al-Mukabber, citing lack of building permits. Each of the Rimawi family homes measured between 50 and 70 square meters and housed approximately ten residents total. Additional demolitions occurred in Beit Hanina At-Tahta, where forces destroyed one home and a sheep pen.
In the West Bank, Israeli forces demolished three homes and one agricultural structure in Ni'lin west of Ramallah. A three-story home was demolished in the Arraba Junction area southwest of Jenin amid heavy military deployment. In Bethlehem's Nahalin town, forces issued evacuation notices for several homes and commercial structures in preparation for demolition, part of a series of orders affecting 14 properties; four homes were demolished there last Wednesday.
