Hebron:The Israeli army has demolished a house and a car showroom in the West Bank, marking a continuation of escalating attacks on Palestinian properties in the occupied region.

According to Anadolu Agency, anti-settlement activist Iyad Masharqa reported that Israeli forces entered the al-Qasr neighborhood in the village of al-Hijra, southeast of Dura in Hebron, where they demolished a house covering approximately 200 square meters. The demolition also involved uprooting several fruit-bearing trees, bulldozing surrounding land, and dismantling a water well and walls belonging to the homeowner.

Furthermore, military bulldozers demolished a car showroom in the town of Hizma in East Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Governorate stated that during this operation, Israeli forces closed off the town's entrances and exits, restricting both pedestrian and vehicle movement. The town of Hizma has been subjected to frequent raids, road closures, and demolition notices for several months, with authorities issuing demolition notices in February for 11 homes and structures, including seven houses and four commercial properties.

The governorate has documented 44 demolition and land-clearing operations across East Jerusalem in October alone, affecting homes and various structures. Additionally, there have been 41 notices and orders for demolition, halting construction, and evacuation across several towns in East Jerusalem. The intensified Israeli army raids and attacks, including in East Jerusalem, have led to reports of killings, arrests, home demolitions, arson, and the displacement of Palestinian communities since October 2023.
