The Israeli occupation authorities razed 19 Palestinian homes in the past two months of August and September, Together against Settlement society said in a statement on Tuesday.
The society, which monitors settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian lands, said that the demolished homes were in Al-Khalil, Bethlehem, Jordan Valley, occupied Jerusalem, and the Negev.
Together against Settlement said the IOA issued during the mentioned months 40 demolition orders against other Palestinian structures and annexed 2,070 dunums of land owned by Palestinian citizens.
Israel does not only demolish homes, but also schools, water wells, stores, Bedouin hamlets and even tents established in place of razed homes, the society stressed.
It affirmed that these violations are part of Israel’s major policy to force the Palestinian natives to leave their homes and lands, especially in Jerusalem where dozens of homes have been knocked down since the start of the current year, not to mention of dozens of demolition orders issued against many others.
A number of international institutions had recently asked the international quartet committee to pressure Israel to stop wiping out entire Palestinian villages.
