HEBRON, Monday, June 08, 2020 (WAFA) – Israeli forces today demolished shacks and tents in the village of Birin, in Masafer Yatta to the south of the occupied southern West Bank city of Hebron, and seized them, according to Fouad al-Amoor, a local activist.

He told WAFA that Israeli forces raided the village and demolished shacks and tents belonging to local families before taking them away.

Through such measures and violations, Israel aims to force Palestinians out of the village in order to expand the illegal Israeli settlement of Pnei Hever, he charged.

Popular committees coordinator in Yatta, Rateb al-Jabour, told WAFA that the demolished structures sheltered 20 children, women and elderly people.
