Mondoweiss

Israeli forces have demolished every home in the Bedouin village of
Khirbet Taha in the northern West Bank district of Nablus during three
separate demolitions since the start of the year.

Unlike most
Bedouin villages, the residents in Khirbet Taha own their own land.
However that land falls in Area C, territory in the occupied West Bank
under full Israeli control.

The village's only school was also
destroyed, leaving children to study in a dilapidated 100-year-old
mosque -- the only structure left standing in the village.

According
the United Nations, Israel has demolished half as many Palestinian
buildings in the first few months of 2016, as they had in all of 2015.
In February alone, the UN found that more Palestinians homes were
destroyed than any other month since 2009, when the organization began
its documentation.
