Israeli soldiers demolished on Monday seven Palestinian homes and tents that belong to residents of Khirbet Bir Al-Ad, east of Yatta town, near the southern West Bank city of Hebron, the Pal Telegraph reported.

Troops and members of the so-called Border Guards units invaded Yatta and proceeded to demolish the structures, and uprooted crops close to the Mas Yair illegal

Israeli settlement, built on lands illegally confiscated from the residents of the town.
Local sources reported that 90 residents, most of them shepherds and farmers, inhibited the demolished homes.

The area in question witnessed several similar incidents and violations as the settlers aim at expanding their illegal settlement and pave roads leading to it.
