"In Umm al-Khair, apartheid forces destroyed a family's home and a structure used as a kitchen. Additionally, bulldozers crushed another residential house, even though soldiers admitted there was no demolition order for it and that it was not even planned to be destroyed—it simply happened to be in their way. As usual, the soldiers acted violently, pushing and beating village residents and solidarity activists."

According to Masefering, Less than a week after a major wave of destruction in Masafer Yatta, Israeli forces resumed demolitions, targeting three villages. Homes, a kitchen, and a sheep pen were reduced to rubble.

• In Umm al-Kheir, troops demolished houses, including one without a demolition order, using violence against residents and activists.

• They continued to Tuwani

• In Shaab al-Butum, destroying more homes.

Observers describe these demolitions—occurring in the West Bank, Gaza, and 1948 territories—as part of Israel’s broader strategy of displacing Palestinians and enforcing ethnic cleansing.
