Israel razed an entire Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank to the ground Monday just three months after completely destroying the same village.
Khirbet Humsah, or Humsah al-Foqa, is a Bedouin enclave in the northern Jordan Valley made up of several clusters of herding communities. Reports have indicated that somewhere between 74-85 Palestinians live in the village, a majority of them children.
The 11 families of Khirbet Humsah maintain a semi-nomadic way of life, relying on livestock and agriculture to sustain themselves and their families. The residents of the village primarily live in tents, and house their livestock in structures made out of aluminum and tin.
