HEBRON, Monday, February 18, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli forces notified Palestinians to the east of Yatta area, south of the southern West Bank district of Hebron, about their intentions to demolish two homes, an animal barn, a nature reserve, and a playground for children, said a local activist.

The popular committee coordinator in Yatta, Rateb al-Jabour, told WAFA Israeli forces, accompanied by staff from the Israeli civil administration, distributed notices for the demolition of two homes, each consist of two rooms, in the villages of al-Halawa and al-Tibban.

Another resident from al-Tabban village received a demolition notice for his privately-owned animal barn.

Meanwhile, forces distributed notices for the demolition of a nature reserve and a playground for children in the village of Khasm Um al-Daraj.

The activist appealed to all local and international human rights and humanitarian organizations to intervene in order to curb the Israeli occupation’s practices.
