Israeli forces have demolished Palestinian homes and structures in Masafer Yatta, a village south of Hebron, leaving families without shelter, the Palestine News Network reported. The demolitions targeted inhabited homes, residential tents, and water wells in the area. Residents lost access to basic infrastructure and housing as operations continued.
Masafer Yatta stands among the territories most affected by demolition and displacement policies in the occupied West Bank. The village has endured repeated rounds of demolitions that have forced Palestinians from their land. Humanitarian conditions for those remaining have deteriorated as families struggle to maintain shelter and access to water supplies amid the ongoing operations.
