U.N.: Israeli Govt. Triples Rate of Demolitions of Palestinian Homes

HeadlineApr 08, 2016

This comes as the United Nations says the Israeli government has tripled the number of demolitions of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank over the past three months. The data shows a monthly average of 165 home demolitions since January. On Thursday, Hussein Kaabneh spoke out after Israeli authorities demolished his home in a village near Jericho.

Hussein Kaabneh: “At 9:00 in the morning, I was surprised by the (Israeli) police and the army. They came to demolish the structures. So I was very mad. I asked them, 'Why do you want to demolish it?' I did not get a warning or anything. And he told me, 'You are not legal.'”
