Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation police demolished a mosque and houses in the Bedouin town of Umm al-Hiran in the Negev, under the pretext of lacking a permit.
The demolition decision was ordered by the extremist Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who commented, saying: “My policy is clear, we will not allow illegal construction and land seizure,” stressing that he will use all means and force necessary to enforce the law.
He continued: "I am proud to lead a strong policy to destroy illegal homes in the Negev," noting that this is the only way to restore rule and sovereignty to the Negev, according to him.
According to Israel Hayom, since the beginning of 2024, and in accordance with Ben-Gvir's policy, there has been a 400% increase in the issuance of demolition orders for illegal homes in the Negev.
