Hamas has warned that Israel is intensifying its demolition operations in the occupied West Bank. The statement came after new demolition notices affected dozens of residential and commercial buildings in the Hebron area.
In a statement on Tuesday, Hamas claimed these demolitions are part of a broader effort to weaken the Palestinian presence. The group said the measures aim to displace people from their lands and homes.
The statement emphasized that the demolitions in the West Bank and East Jerusalem violate international law. Hamas argued that this is part of a wider policy targeting Palestinians in the occupied territories.
Hamas called on the international community, governments, and international organizations to pressure Israel. The group urged immediate action to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes and structures.
The statement was made amid ongoing debates over demolition policies in the West Bank. Palestinian officials and human rights groups argue that restrictions on building permits have left many settlements vulnerable to demolition orders, while Israeli authorities maintain that actions are taken against structures built without the necessary permits.
