JERUSALEM (AP) Israeli military bulldozers demolished most of a Palestinian Bedouin village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Monday, taking out the hamlets infrastructure and leaving residents wandering amid the rubble of their homes. The bulldozers rolled into Khalet Al-Dab in the morning, taking down most of the villages structures, said Basel Adra, a filmmaker, journalist and activist from the area.
Nine homes, five tents and five animal pens were demolished, said Mohammed Rabia, head of the village council in the area.
COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for administrative affairs in the occupied West Bank, said it demolished the buildings because they were built illegally in an area designated as a closed firing zone.
