Galilee (UNA/WAFA) – Israeli authorities demolished three homes in the village of Kabul in the Galilee region early Tuesday morning, under the pretext of building without a permit..
Local sources reported that Israeli bulldozers and engineering vehicles, accompanied by a large number of police and border guards, stormed the village and carried out the demolition of the three houses..
This demolition comes just months after a shop in the village was demolished last February, under the pretext of unlicensed construction, as part of a policy that is repeated in Arab towns within the 1948 territories..
The issue of house demolitions is one of the most prominent issues facing Arab citizens within Israel, amidst an ongoing planning and construction crisis characterized by limited building areas and delays in approving structural plans, which restricts urban expansion and makes obtaining building permits extremely difficult..
Experts and local authorities confirm that demolition policies are accompanied by planning restrictions that limit the natural growth of Arab towns, prompting many citizens to build to meet their housing needs, before they face demolition orders and ongoing legal proceedings..
