Footage of the August 2016 demolition of a residential structure built
with EU aid in Um al-Kheir, a Palestinian community in the South Hebron
Hills. The number of homes Israel demolished in the West Bank from Jan.
to Aug. 2016 is the highest it has been since B’Tselem began recording
demolitions that cite “construction without a permit” in 2006. This is
part of a policy to step up demolitions, implemented while Israel is
engaged in “structured dialogue” on the matter with the EU, and despite
international condemnation in the Quartet’s July report.
