Israel Wants to Force Us Out of Our Homes. We Refuse to Leave Masafer Yatta.
Briefly

Israeli occupation forces recently demolished Khallet al-Dabe', a Palestinian village, in two and a half hours. This act is part of a broader strategy affecting the entire Masafer Yatta area, where an order from the Civil Administration enables live-fire training and reinforces the designation of the region as Firing Zone 918. As a result, residents face imminent forced removal due to military drills, while building permits are increasingly denied and demolition orders accelerated, rendering ownership claims invalid and intensifying the impact on the Palestinian communities in the region.
Israeli occupation forces demolished almost the entire village of Khallet al-Dabe' in just two and a half hours, leaving the community in ruins.
The Civil Administration's new order allows the Israeli military to forcibly remove virtually all residents of Masafer Yatta under the pretext of military drills.
Designation of 'Firing Zone 918' leads to the destruction of homes and land for expansion of Jewish-only Israeli settlements and outposts.
Palestinian building permit requests are being rejected wholesale and demolition orders are being fast-tracked, leading to a complete disregard for ownership rights.
