More than 200 Palestinians lived in Khirbet Qassa, west of Hebron. The village was an enclave in the area between the Green Line and the Separation Barrier, whose construction was recently completed.
Israel closed the Separation Barrier opening the children crossed to get to school in Bir Nebala. Their families have lived in East Jerusalem for decades, yet Israel does not recognize them as residents of the city or let the children study in East Jerusalem schools.
On Monday, 1 November 2021, at around 11:00 A.M., Civil Administration personnel came with a military escort and a bulldozer to the community of ‘Ein al-Meyteh, west of Khirbet al-Malih, near the village of Tayasir in the northern Jordan Valley. The forces demolished three residential tents that were home to a family of nine, including seven minors, two tents used as livestock pens, a tent for storing fodder, a livestock enclosure, a solar panel, and three water tanks. The forces also confiscated the battery of the solar power system and 30 metal poles.
