Israeli forces demolished Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, including five residential buildings in Biddu that displaced more than 100 people, and Bedouin homes in the E1 area. Middle East Eye reported that troops raided Biddu, northwest of Jerusalem, in the early morning and forced residents of 12 apartments out before demolishing them, firing stun grenades and tear gas at homeowners. Haaretz reported that Bedouin homes were demolished in E1 as settler violence escalates, and Ma'aleh Adumim Mayor Guy Yifrah said the demolitions followed a municipal demand agreed with the Civil Administration chief.
