Ramallah, February 24 (RHC)-- Israeli troops have destroyed the homes belonging to two Palestinians for alleged anti-Israeli attacks in the occupied territories.

Earlier this week, the Haaretz daily also reported that Tel Aviv has increased by more than five times the rate at which it tears down Palestinian dwellings in the occupied West Bank's biggest administrative division. Tel Aviv is now demolishing 49 Palestinian residences in so-called Area C every week, compared to nine recorded in 2015, the report said.

Rights groups say the demolition of Palestinian homes seeks to expand  Israel's illegal settlements and land theft in the occupied territories.
