Israeli forces demolished a house near Hebron and a car showroom near Jerusalem on Nov. 9, disrupting access to Hizma, according to accounts Anadolu Agency obtained from an activist and the Jerusalem Governorate.
The governorate said pedestrians and drivers could not enter or leave Hizma while the showroom was demolished. It described repeated raids, road closures and demolition notices in the town in recent months.
In February, Israeli authorities sent demolition notices for 11 Hizma properties—seven houses and four commercial sites—the governorate said.
Near Dura, anti-settlement activist Iyad Masharqa said forces demolished a house of about 200 square meters in al-Qasr, a neighborhood of al-Hijra. He said they also demolished a well and walls on the property, uprooted fruit-bearing trees and leveled land around the house.
For October, the governorate counted 44 demolition or land-clearing operations in its area. The governorate said its October records also included orders and notices related to evacuations, construction stoppages and demolitions, 41 in all.
