This came during the occupation army's storming of the towns of Idhna, west of Hebron (south), and Al-Jiftlik in the northern Jordan Valley (northeast), according to local sources and eyewitnesses.
Local sources said that occupation forces stormed the town of Idhna, west of Hebron, and demolished a 150-square-meter house and five commercial establishments. They explained that the demolition was carried out on the grounds of unlicensed construction in Area C, according to the Oslo II Accords signed in 1995.
In Al-Jiftlik in the northern Jordan Valley, Israeli bulldozers demolished a number of structures, including residential and agricultural ones, under the pretext of unlicensed construction in Area C. Israeli vehicles also razed a street in the eastern neighborhood of Al-Bireh, in the central West Bank, under the same pretext, according to sources.
Palestinians are prohibited from making any changes or building in Area C without an Israeli permit, which is impossible to obtain, according to local and international organizations.
The Oslo II Accords between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel divided the West Bank into three areas: Area A, which is under full Palestinian control; Area B, which is under Israeli security control and Palestinian civil and administrative control; and Area C, which is under Israeli civil, administrative, and security control.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation army and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,010 Palestinians and the injury of approximately 7,000 others, according to Palestinian data.
This coincides with a genocidal war waged by Israel in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has left approximately 206,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and a famine that has claimed the lives of many.
