Israeli occupation bulldozers demolished Monday, July 17, 2023, Palestinian structures, agricultural facilities, and water tanks in the town of Al-Sawahreh, southeast of occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces, backed by military reinforcements, stormed the town and demolished several Palestinian structures, sheep pens, and water tanks belonging to Bedouin residents living in the Al-Sawahreh wilderness.
The demolition is part of a long-standing policy of the Israeli occupation, which has been criticized by human rights organizations for displacing Palestinians and destroying their property in the occupied territories.
The Israeli occupation claims that these demolitions are carried out due to a lack of proper permits, but Palestinians argue that obtaining permits is a complex and difficult process.
The town of Al-Sawahreh, like many other Palestinian communities, has faced ongoing challenges from Israeli settlements, land confiscation, and home demolitions.
Such actions have a profound impact on the lives and livelihoods of the affected Palestinians, exacerbating their already precarious situation.
