BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces tore down tents in the Bab al-Shams protest village overnight Wednesday following an Israeli high court ruling, activists and police said.
Activist Ali Abedat told Ma'an that Israeli forces deployed heavily in the area on Wednesday, sealing entrances to the village with cement blocks.
Overnight, four Israeli bulldozers, several military vehicles and dozens of settlers raided the village and tore down the tents, Abedat said.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said all tents had been cleared from the area. "There were no disturbances," he added.
Bab al-Shams village council member Mahmud Zawahra told Ma'an that activists would rebuild the village soon. more
