2012-01-25 New demolitions in the Bedouin village of Um Al Kheer

At-Tuwani -- In the morning of January 25th the Israeli army demolished two houses in the Bedouin village of Umm Al Kheer and seized a tractor in the village of Khallet el Mayya.
Around 9:00 AM two bulldozers, escorted by military jeeps and the DCO (District Coordinating Office) of the Israeli Army, raided the village of Umm Al Kheer. The two demolished houses weren't under demolition order, although 20 demolition orders were delivered in the last years. The first structure belongs to an elderly couple, and the second to a woman with 9 children.
During the operations the Palestinians, who have tried to hinder the activities interposing between the houses and bulldozers, were pushed away by soldiers. The elderly owner of a house fell ill after being pulled by soldiers. Everything happened while two bulldozers worked to build new habitations in the nearby settlement of Karmel.
