Footage of the wreckage left behind by Israeli authorities’ Aug. 2016
demolitions in three Palestinian West Bank communities. 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.
