Event Notes

House demolitions without prior warning in Qalqas

On June 23, 2026, Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian home in Qalqas village, east of Hebron. The demolished two-story home, belonging to Palestinian resident Saud Al-Atrash, measured 460 square meters and housed two families, including children and elderly residents, who were left homeless.

During the demolition, Israeli forces assaulted local residents and fired tear gas canisters, causing several people to suffer from suffocation.

The orders were issued 10 minutes before the demolition, without any prior warning, preventing families from saving their belongings and increasing feelings of distress, grief, and injustice. The pretext given was that the homes lacked Israeli-issued building permits.
