Israeli Occupation Forces demolish two residences in Abu Dis town

On July 12, 2017, the dozers of Israel Civil Administration demolished two houses in the Bedouin community of Wad Abu Hindi that is founded in Abu Dis town. Noteworthy,  a massive force from the occupation army and a staff from the Civil Administration raided the area, brought down the houses (caravans) and confiscated what remained of the houses.

First residence:

It belongs to citizen Ahmad Khamis Hamadeen. The residence is a 40m2 caravan.

The mother of citizen Ahmad told Land Research Center the following:

" My son bought the caravan two months ago for 7000 NIS with the intention to move in to it since he is getting married soon. Two days before the demolition, a vehicle arrived in the place and two men, one with civic clothing and the other with military dress, photographed the house and left without delivering us any notices. Next day, dozers came in the area, demolished the structure and confiscated its parts. Not only, they also demolished a 3 m2 toilet".

Two days before the demolition, a vehicle arrived in the place and  the accompanied staff photographed the house and left without delivering us any notices.
