Event Notes

Demolition campaign in Masafer Yatta (Tuwani, Umm Al-Khair, Shi'b al Butum)

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.
