HEBRON, July 18, 2012 (WAFA) – The Israeli authorities Wednesday handed two Palestinians notices to demolish properties used as residents and animal shelters in khirbet Hawara, east of the town of Yatta in Heron, according to a local activist.

Ratib al-Jabour, coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in southern Hebron, told WAFA these Israeli measures aim to displace local residents despite the far distance between the village from the Israeli settlements and the bypass road used by settlers.

On the other hand, Israeli settlers started building a park on Palestinian land in the Old City of Hebron under the protection of the Israeli army, and amid opposition from local and international activists in the city.
