The IDF renews the demolition of houses and violent attacks in the West Bank According to Wafa, Israeli Israeli forces today renewed large-scale military attacks and systematic house demolitions throughout the West Bank. The renewed campaign came as election officials tallied the results from Tuesday's parliamentary vote, proving that military operations against captive Palestinian populations continue unabated regardless of Israel's domestic political maneuvering. In Beta, south of Nablus, Israeli forces deployed heavy machinery and high explosives to destroy Palestinian residential buildings, leaving several families displaced. At the same time, forced demolitions were carried out in East Jerusalem, where the municipal authorities forced a Palestinian resident of Silwan to dismantle his own house under the threat of punitive fines. Military units also made violent incursions into al-Sawahira al-Sharqiya and conducted sweeping operations in al-Mujir, raiding dozens of houses and subjecting the residents to collective punishment. Mass arrests accompanied the structural demolitions throughout the northern West Bank. Israeli soldiers rounded up Palestinians during targeted attacks in Tubas and Burka, northwest of Nablus, and added to the tens of thousands of Palestinians arrested in administrative measures.
