Israeli forces on Wednesday carried out demolitions and land clearing that affected agricultural structures and a water well in the town of Al-Ramadin, south of Hebron.

Local sources said the forces entered the areas of Tatreit and Deir Saeeda in the town and carried out widespread damage to residents’ property. This included demolishing a concrete room, a water well and an agricultural shed, as well as destroying plastic water tanks belonging to several families.

In a related development, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said it had documented 1,965 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank last month, including 1,454 carried out by the Israeli army.

The commission also reported 72 demolition operations during the same period, affecting 122 structures. These included 56 inhabited homes and nine uninhabited houses, as well as 34 agricultural facilities and 18 structures that serve as sources of income for residents, amid a rise in violations against Palestinians and their property.
