"From there, they continued to the edge of the village of Twaneh and destroyed a large residential house. Then, they moved on to the village of Shaab al-Butum, where they demolished a home and a sheep pen. The practice of home demolitions—in the West Bank, Gaza, or the 1948 territories—is one of the methods used by Israeli colonialism to expel the indigenous Palestinian people from their land and ethnically cleanse all of Palestine."

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.
