Residents of a besieged Bedouin hamlet in the southern occupied West Bank said Israeli army bulldozers demolished six more homes in the community on Wednesday, leaving 28 people homeless.
The demolitions in Umm Al-Khair come after military bulldozers destroyed several homes in the village last month, leaving a quarter of the 200 people living there homeless.
COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for civilian matters in the occupied West Bank, has in the past claimed that many structures in the village were built without permits.
Palestinians in these areas have long said that it is virtually impossible to obtain building permits from Israeli authorities.
