On 9 Oct. 2016, Civil Administration and military forces arrived at the
community of a-Ras al-Ahmar which lies east of the Palestinian town of
Tammun, in the northern Jordan Valley. The forces destroyed 10 dwellings
and 17 livestock pens and left 24 people, including five minors,
homeless. These demolitions are part of a massive campaign launched by
the Israeli authorities in early 2016. From January through 6 April
2016, the authorities demolished 128 dwellings and 138 other structures
in vulnerable Palestinian communities. These demolitions have rendered
homeless 510 people, including 275 minors.
