At least 50 structures were demolished by Israeli forces in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (including East Jerusalem) in the month of October, displacing at least 50 people - including 21 children - and affecting a further 203 people, including 92 children. Inside Israel, in the Naqab desert, Israeli forces demolished the unrecognised Bedouin village al-Aragib for the 134th time.
All the demolitions and confiscations occurred on grounds of lacking an Israeli-issued building permit. Most of the demolished structures supported agricultural, herding and commercial livelihoods.Read more»
