Footage captured by Abd Abuhilal shows a Palestinian woman watching as ‘Israel’i forces demolish her home, amid continued demolitions of Palestinian-owned properties across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
‘Israeli’ authorities frequently justify demolitions by citing the absence of building permits, which Palestinians face significant barriers to obtaining permits in areas under ‘Israeli' control, particularly Area C of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, leaving many homes vulnerable to demolition.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), demolitions linked to permit violations have displaced hundreds of Palestinian families across the occupied territory. The UN has repeatedly raised concerns over the humanitarian consequences of these demolitions, alongside displacement driven by evictions and settler violence.
