The Israeli occupation forces on Monday ordered the demolition of Palestinian homes, a sheep barn, a nature reserve, and a children's playground in al-Khalil.

Activist Rateb al-Jabour said that the Israeli forces handed the Palestinian citizens Ali Abu Aram and Samir al-Hamamda notices to demolish their homes.

Other demolition orders were issued against a sheep barn owned by Essa al-Hamamda, a nature reserve, and a children's playground.

Al-Jabour appealed to the concerned local and international human rights organizations to intervene and put an end to the Israeli daily violations in the Palestinian territories.

Israel in 2012 started a plan to demolish eight Palestinian villages in al-Khalil and forcibly transfer their residents, estimated at 1,500, in order to expand existing settlements built illegally on privately-owned Palestinian lands.
