B'Tselem's privacy policy

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank. B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.

On Thursday, 23 April 2020, at around 8:30 A.M., Civil Administration personnel came with a crane truck and a military-jeep escort to a Palestinian community on the outskirts of the village of 'Ein a-Duyuk a-Tahta, west of Jericho. The forces dismantled and confiscated a caravan that housed a family of eight, including five children, and a shack used as a livestock pen. The two structures were donated to the family by a humanitarian aid organization after the military destroyed its former residence and livestock pen in December 2019. The forces also delivered a demolition order for a house currently under construction owned by a family from Jerusalem.
