Israel razes Palestinian Bedouin village for second time Reuters 2/3/2021

JORDAN VALLEY, West Bank, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Israel has begun demolishing a Bedouin village in the occupied West Bank for the second time in three months, in what a rights group called an attempt to displace an entire Palestinian community from the area.
Israeli authorities said the village of Khirbet Humsah, in the northern West Bank s Jordan Valley, had been constructed illegally on a military firing range, and that residents had rejected their offer to move to a nearby area.
Khirbet Humsah s 130 inhabitants have vowed to stay, with some sleeping on mattresses and plastic tarps strewn on the rocky soil. Tented homes and animal shelters in the village were last razed in November, though residents returned soon after.
