Israeli occupation forces on Sunday dismantled and destroyed two Palestinian shelters in the village of Al-Muarrajat, to the west of Jericho city in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Feras Kaabneh, a local Palestinian activist who monitors Israeli violations in the area, stated that an Israeli army force broke into the village and embarked on dismantling two residential structures for the Palestinian Bedouin family of Meleheat, according to Palestinian news agency WAFA.

Kaabneh said the shelters demolished were home to 12 family members, most of them women and children.
