Approximately one month ago — after years of harassment and intermittent demolitions — Israeli occupation forces arrived in the Palestinian village of Khallet al-Dabe’, one of the 12 communities that make up Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills in the occupied West Bank. They proceeded to demolish the village almost entirely. In just two and a half hours, Israeli occupation forces reduced almost the entire village to rubble.

Like Khallet al-Dabe’, all of the Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta are now under threat of permanent expulsion after the Civil Administration — the Israeli military body in charge of governing the West Bank — issued an order allowing what it calls “live-fire training” in Masafer Yatta, an action taken to reinforce its designation of the area as “Firing Zone 918.”
