On Sunday, 26 April 2020, at around 10:00 A.M., Civil Administration personnel came with a digger and a military-jeep escort to a Palestinian community in the Deir al-Qilt area, southwest of Jericho. The community is home to six families numbering a total of 35 members. The forces demolished three tents that housed a family of ten, including seven children. Two of the tents were used as living quarters and the third functioned as a kitchen. Another tent used as a livestock pen and an outdoor livestock pen belonging to the same family were also destroyed. The family is spending the month of Ramadan in Aqbat Jaber Refugee Camp and was not present during the demolition.
