Israeli forces have demolished this week three structures in the southern occupied West Bank district of AlKhalil.

Israeli forces escorted a bulldozer into Farsh al-Hawa area, west of AlKhalil city, where the heavy machinery tore down three agricultural structures, purportedly for being built without permits, WAFA News Agency said.

Soldiers razed a plot of land planted with summer crops in the same area.

According to the same source, Israeli forces also ordered the demolition of three tents in Masafer Yatta in the southern hills of the city.

Local activist Fuad al-'Amur said that forces handed military notices to demolish a residential tent in al-Fakhit community, a tin-sheet structure in al-Markez community besides to a makeshift clinic designed to fight the outbreak of coronavirus at the entrance of Maghayir al-Abeed community.

Masafer Yatta is a collection of almost 19 hamlets which rely heavily on animal husbandry as the main source of livelihood.

Located in Area C of the West Bank, under full Israeli administrative and military control, the area has been subjected to repeated Israeli violations by settlers and soldiers targeting their main source of living - livestock.

It has been designated as a closed Israeli military zone for training since 1980s and accordingly referred to as Firing Zone 918.

Israeli violations against the area include demolition of animal barns, homes and residential structures. Issuance of construction permits by Israel to local Palestinians in the area is almost impossible.
