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".

It should be noted that Hammad intended to move in to the caravan two days after the demolition date, which is his marriage date.
Hammad told Land Research Center the following:
" Two months ago, I bought the caravan for 7000 NIS from AL-Sawahreh village with the intention to move in to it since I am getting married soon. 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. Next day, dozers came and demolished the structure and confiscated its parts".

It is reported that the Israeli occupation harasses and pressures the Palestinian residents of Area "C" by demolishing their structures and denying them construction permits.
