Reports about Israeli plans to demolish 66 buildings in #Jenin citing “military purposes” raise serious concerns over destruction of property and the forcible transfer of the Palestinian population within occupied territory.
Israeli security forces on 21 March gave #Jenin residents only 24 hours to contest the demolition order, which is grossly inadequate to allow for due process protections to appeal the order and protect the residents’ fundamental human rights, including to adequate housing.
This comes as an Israeli security operation continues since 21 January in northern #WestBank cities and communities, including #Jenin, #Tulkarem and #Tubas, which has so far killed 60 Palestinians, displaced tens of thousands, and featured widespread destruction of private property and infrastructure. Dozens of buildings have already been destroyed in refugee camps in #Jenin and in #Tulkarem.
