CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE DESTROYING BUILDINGWEST BANK, PALESTINE - OCT. 27, 2025: The Israeli army demolished two Palestinian homes in the town of Shuqba, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, local councilor Tim Shalash told Anadolu. Shalash said the homes were destroyed on the grounds that they lacked building permits, and noted that the properties were built on privately owned land. He added that four homes in Shuqba have been demolished since the beginning of the year under the same pretext. According to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Israel has carried out 1,014 demolitions across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since October 2023. These demolitions have affected 3,679 structures, including 1,288 inhabited homes, 244 uninhabited homes, and 962 agricultural facilities. Israel widely uses the pretext of a lack of construction permits to demolish Palestinian homes, especially in Area C in the occupied West Bank, which constitutes around 60% of its space. Under the 1995 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, was divided into three portions – Area A, B, and C. Area C is under Israel’s administrative and security control until a final status agreement is reached with the Palestinians. In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
