According to the NGO B’Tselem, the forces dismantled six tents and confiscated them together with another two tents that still had not been pitched. Three of the tents had been used as dwellings by members of the community, while the rest were used as livestock pens. These structures were donated to the community by a humanitarian aid agency after the Civil Administration initially demolished these families’ homes on September 27, 2016, leaving 25 persons homeless, 10 of them minors.
