Israeli Occupation Serves Demolition Notices for 4 Structures in Bedouin Community of Abu al-Nawar and Besieges Its Roads
Israeli occupation authorities on Sunday morning served notices to demolish and halt work on four residential and agricultural structures in the Bedouin community of Abu al-Nawar, near the town of al-Eizariya southeast of Jerusalem, in a new step targeting Palestinian Bedouin communities and deepening pressure on their residents.
The Jerusalem Governorate said the new notices come days after the occupation authorities on Thursday notified the closure of the only road leading to the Abu al-Nawar community, along with the Wadi al-Awaj and al-Muntar areas, threatening to isolate the three communities and restrict the movement of their residents and their access to basic needs.
The governorate considered these measures part of a policy of restriction and siege targeting Bedouin communities, aimed at pushing residents to leave their land, coinciding with continued incursions by occupation forces into the area.
The measures come within the context of the occupation’s policy aimed at imposing a reality on the ground that tightens the noose around Bedouin communities around Jerusalem, through demolition and construction-halt notices and obstructing access to residential areas, threatening the stability of residents and their presence on their land and increasing the risks of forced displacement.
