Israeli authorities demolished a wedding hall in the town of Dir Hanna, in the al-Battuf region, on Thursday morning, citing a lack of permits. Demolition vehicles and bulldozers, accompanied by a large contingent of Israeli police, entered the area, cordoned off the site, and prevented residents from approaching. This demolition is part of ongoing demolition operations in the Arab community occurring just days before the upcoming Knesset elections. The Joint List party filed an urgent appeal to the head of the Central Elections Committee against the Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, his party Otzma Yehudit, the police, the Land Enforcement Authority, and the Israel Land Authority. The appeal seeks to prevent the exploitation of politically motivated demolitions and evictions in the Arab community for electoral propaganda.
