Israeli settlers demolish structures in Palestinian community near Hebron: Report

Israeli settlers have destroyed Palestinian-owned residential structures in the Jurat al-Kheil community east of the town of Sa’ir, near Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

More than 15 residential structures were completely demolished and the belongings of Palestinians residing in them were confiscated, according to a resident quoted by the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

The families were reportedly taken by surprise by the demolitions, and only learned of the destruction when several community members managed to reach the area. They had been forced to leave two days earlier due to increasing threats from the settlers.

At the end of last month, dozens of settlers dressed in military attire stole 300 sheep and physically assaulted locals, also confiscating their cellphones and issuing death threats, Wafa reported.
