The Hamas Movement has strongly denounced the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) for demolishing four homes belonging to Palestinian detainees and displacing their residents at dawn Thursday, describing the measure as “a racist and terrorist behavior.”
In a press release, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasem said that Israel’s demolition policy would always be fuel for the Palestinian people’s revolution.
“The occupation is delusional if it thinks that such terrorist behavior can stop our people’s struggle. All the facts have proved that the policy of home demolition will remain fuel for our people’s raging revolution,” spokesman Qasem underlined.
Israeli army bulldozers at dawn Thursday demolished four houses belonging to families of Palestinian detainees in Beit Kahil town, northwest of al-Khalil.

According to the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, the army demolished 140 Palestinian homes and structures in Jerusalem governorate since the beginning of this year until September 1st.
Many were unable to do so within the tight deadline, which required producing notarised copies of land title deeds, and the additional expense of hiring a lawyer to represent them.
Based on bitter past experience the majority of residents, however, chose not to register appeals, as the Israeli courts have proven themselves to be completely unwilling previously to overturn any order raised by the military that cite ‘security concerns’.
Despite some appeals having been lodged with the court, the Israeli Army has nonetheless continued to occupy the confiscated land in question, and erected fences and other barriers on the disputed new land.
Residents can now only gain access to tend crops or pick olives if they apply to the Israeli Army for a permit to enter their own land. This still means they have to pass through checkpoints and face humiliating delays, ID checks, bag searches and body searches.
