Land Research Center (LRC), part of Arab Studies Society, considers the ferocious wave of attack on Palestinian construction and structures all over the West Bank including Jerusalem. Israel's practices are a flagrant breach of God's will and message. He, SWT, says: [ …He has produced you from the earth and settled you in it, so ask forgiveness of Him and then repent to Him. ] [Hud, 61] and means that Allah has created us, granted us with many bounties and made us His successors in order to build the earth and benefit ourselves as well as others. But the Israeli occupation misinterprets the right of succession; they have destroyed and looted land, set fire to its trees and destroyed what is built on it.
