In Jan.-June 2016, Israeli authorities demolished 168 dwellings in
Palestinian communities in the West Bank, making 740 people homeless
(incl. 384 minors), more than in any one year in the past decade (except
2013). These demolitions were carried out only in Area C, which
comprises about 60% of the West Bank and which Israel views as primarily
meant to serve its own needs. Demolitions play a key role in Israeli
policy in the West Bank to displace Palestinians and take over their
land. Demolitions and devastating communities do not fulfill “the rule
of law”. Rather, they are a longstanding, systematic dispossession to
which all Israeli authorities are party.
