Israel to demolish dwelling, orders stop on construction of two others south of Hebron

The Israeli occupation authorities today ordered the demolition of a dwelling and issued a stop on the construction of two others east of the town of Yatta, south of Hebron, according to a local activist.

Coordinator of the Wall and Settlements Resistance Committees. Rateb Jabour, told WAFA that Israeli forces stormed Maeen village where they handed a local resident an order to tear down his three-story, 450-square-meter house, a step which would displace 20 people.

The soldiers also handed two other residents notices ordering them to halt the construction of their 140-square-meter and 150-square-meter houses, in addition to an order to remove a water pump that supplies water to over 60 families in the localities of Shaab al-Butum and Qawawis, east of Yatta.
