An-Najah News - An entire Palestinian family was displaced after Israeli occupation bullduzers demolished the structure where they live , south of Hebron .
The coordinator of the Anti-Wall & Settlement Committees Rateb al-Jabour confirmed that Israeli occupation forces escorted a bulldozer to Khirbet al-Mafqara community, where the heavy machinery tore down a tin-and-brick house besides to a tent, purportedly for being built without a permit.
Khirbet al-Mafqara is one of the Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta, a collection of almost 19 hamlets which rely heavily on animal husbandry as the main source of livelihood.
Israeli occupation violations against the area include demolition of animal barns, homes and residential structures. Issuance of construction permits by Israel to local Palestinians in the area is non-existent, said Al Jabour.
