**On Monday February 10**, Israeli authorities demolished 11 buildings in the Masafer Yatta region, in the southern Hebron Hills, in occupied West Bank, particularly in the village of Khalet al-Daba, with additional demolitions in Maghayir al-Abeed and Jinaba. According to Palestinian and Israeli activits (Breaking the Silence, resident and film director Basel Adra, Peace Now, Masafering), **the forcible transfer of Palestinians out of Area C continues.** - It's an extensive and unprecedented demolitions covering three villages in Masafer Yatta as described by regional council leader Nidal Younis. - The demolished structures included houses, caves, a tent, and infrastructure (including water and electricity systems), some of which were funded by foreign countries. **Testimony of Basel Adra** @basel_adra (Co-Author of "No Other Land" awarded documentary) *"I am surrounded by many armed soldiers and three large bulldozers. They have invaded the village of Khirbet al-Daba in Masafer Yatta, forcibly evicting families from their homes in this freezing cold. So far, three homes have been demolished, and the destruction is still ongoing."  **Legal and Political Context:** The demolitions come after a decades-long legal battle, which ended in May 2022 with the High Court of Justice authorizing the state to demolish all the villages in Firing Zone 918 in the Yatta area and expel their residents. While Palestinians are having their homes demolished in the Firing Zone, settlers are building more and more outposts (with direct and indirect assistance from the state). - The demolitions follow a ruling from Israel's High Court of Justice in 2022 that allowed the destruction of villages in the South Hebron Hills to create a military firing zone. - The ruling was in response to a petition from residents of eight villages located in the designated firing zone, which was established in 1981. - Since the court ruling, the residents' lawyers have filed several requests to exempt certain buildings, but those requests have been rejected faster in recent months, raising fears of imminent expulsion. - In December 2024, a request to exempt a school and clinic in the village of Khirbet al-Fakheit from demolition was rejected. The state has committed to giving advance notice of demolitions, but this commitment is now being questioned in light of ongoing demolitions. **Statements from Legal and Political Figures:** - Attorney Michael Sfard filed a petition to prevent the demolition of an electrical grid in the area. - Regavim, a far-right group, supported the demolitions, calling them a step toward restoring governance. - Military Justification: The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories stated the demolitions were carried out in accordance with the law, as the structures were built without necessary permits in a military firing zone. - Peace Now: *The demolitions in Masafer Yatta are part of a governmental plan to forcefully deport the Palestinians from their homes and lands and to settle it with Israelis. For years the State claimed in court that the demolitions are necessary because in a firing zone no civilian presence is allowed. Now it is becoming clear that the State has no problem with civilian presence, as long as it is of Israeli-settlers and not of Palestinians.*

On February 10, the police requested an extension of their detention to 8 days at a court hearing. Their detention was extended by one day only.

Among the seized books were works by Banksy, Ilan Pappé, and Noam Chomsky. Muna was later released without charge, and most books were returned. Rights groups and intellectuals condemned the raids, calling them an attempt to suppress Palestinian culture.

The expanded orders allow soldiers to shoot anyone suspected of planting explosives, leading to increased use of lethal force. These orders have reportedly made soldiers "trigger-happy" and resulted in these tragic incidents, including the deaths of a pregnant woman and a child, as well as other civilians. Critics argue that these new rules resemble tactics used in Gaza, contributing to heightened violence in the West Bank. The IDF maintains that its actions are targeted at combatants, but many of the casualties have been non-combatants. Investigations into these deaths are ongoing.

Mistaclim activists, who were staying in a nearby village, arrived at the scene. A military patrol and a settler were already present, filming the incident and behaving violently towards the activists. An IDF officer took testimony from one of the residents who witnessed the incident and sent soldiers to the illegal outpost of Zohar Sabah, located nearby, to identify four suspects in the arson. A fire truck arrived about forty minutes after the fire was detected, but the firefighters did nothing. In the morning, the fire was still burning in the mosque. Later, a police car also arrived and went down to the nearby outpost. The eyewitness was advised to file a complaint with the Binyamin police.
