Israeli occupation forces demolished the homes of two detainees, Ibrahim Abdel Karim Daoud and Zakaria Mohammed Daoud, on Wednesday in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank. The forces also ordered residents of homes in the western part of the town to evacuate, while simultaneously blocking the town's entrances and surrounding its western neighborhoods, preventing movement.
The families of the detainees had been notified on October 5th that their homes would be demolished, with Israeli forces claiming the detainees were involved in shooting incidents and the detonation of explosive devices that injured Israeli soldiers. The disruption of in-person schooling in Beita affected over 5,000 students, preventing them from reaching their schools and kindergartens, according to the mayor of Beita.
In the neighboring town of Burin, Israeli forces continued their raid for the second consecutive day, searching homes and turning some into military barracks. Amidst these circumstances, the Director General of Education in South Nablus, Samer Al-Jamal, announced the shift to a "learning assignments" system for schools to ensure student and staff safety and the continuation of education.
These events are part of a broader increase in demolitions in the West Bank. Data from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission indicates that Israeli authorities carried out 1,814 demolition operations between October 7, 2023, and early October 2026, affecting 5,059 structures, including 1,894 occupied residences, 307 unoccupied residences, and 1,524 agricultural structures in the West Bank, including Jerusalem.
