Dozens of Palestinian Bedouin were made homeless Thursday after the IDF knocked down their shacks in the West Bank, a United Nations official said.
This was the second time in as many days that the army has razed the homes of West Bank Bedouin after a lull in demolitions in recent months, said James Weatherill, of the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Forty-five people lost their homes Wednesday in a village near the West Bank city of Hebron on Wednesday, Weatherill said. Dozens more lost their homes in Thursday's operation in the village of Mughayir el Dir, 13 kilometers northeast of Jerusalem.
Army military spokesman Zidki Maman said the structures were built in a closed military zone without permits. The villagers were warned in advance of the demolition, he said.
