Tel Aviv, November 13 (RHC)-- The Israeli regime is ready to demolish five homes belonging to Palestinians who Tel Aviv accuses of carrying out anti-Israeli attacks. Israel's Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the destruction of the houses, three of which are situated in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus. The other two residences are in the Qalandiya refugee camp near Ramallah, also in the West Bank.

Rights groups have on numerous occasions condemned the demolitions, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that they are "efficient tools" against Palestinians.

The destruction of Palestinian homes and buildings comes as the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits an occupying entity from destroying private property or forcibly transferring the region's population.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis currently reside in more than 120 illegal settlements constructed since the regime's occupation of the Palestinian territories in 1967. The settlements are considered illegal by most of the international community.

Meanwhile, media reports say more than 80 Palestinians have been killed in the recent escalation of violence in the occupied Palestinian territories since the beginning of October.

Tensions heightened in the occupied lands following the Israeli regime's imposition of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem in August.

 

Palestinians are also angry at increasing violence by Israeli settlers, who frequently storm the holy site.
