On Monday, enforcement was carried out on about nine illegal building clusters in Firing Range 918 in South Hebron Hills, near the Israeli communities of Carmel and Maon.
The demolition concludes a long process that began with demolition orders issued in the 1990s, continued with legal petitions against the expulsion lasting over twenty years, and finally, a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court in June 2022 declaring the building illegal and must be demolished.
Roi Drucker, Coordinator of Judea and Samaria for Regavim, said: “After more than three decades of state procrastination, we are witnessing determined action to restore justice, even within a complex reality and heavy international pressures. The State of Israel is taking responsibility for its assets, law, and mainly security, doing what it should have done a long time ago. Besides the Ministry of Defense’s activity, action from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required against BDS organizations exploiting the situation for delegitimizing the IDF and the State of Israel as a whole.”
