The Israeli army demolish a Palestinian home in occupied East Jerusalem and levels a structure used for livestock in the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah.
Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian-owned home in occupied East Jerusalem and a structure used for livestock in Ramallah, in the latest home demolitions in the occupied West Bank, officials and local sources said on Tuesday.
The Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement that Israeli forces razed a house in the Arab al-Ararara area near Jaba roundabout, north of East Jerusalem. The governorate said Israeli forces cited the “lack of a building permit” for the demolitions. Separately, Israeli forces also raided the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, and demolished a structure used for livestock, local sources toldAnadolu.
According to data from the official Colonisation and Wall Resistance Commission, Israeli forces carried out 37 demolition operations in April, targeting 78 structures, including inhabited homes and agricultural facilities, and issued dozens of demolition notices. The West Bank has seen a sustained escalation in violent incident since the outbreak of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, including killings, arrests, demolitions and settlement expansion.
The violence has resulted in the deaths of at least 1,155 Palestinians, the wounding of about 11,750 others, and the arrest of nearly 22,000 people, according to official Palestinian data.
