The wife of the affected citizen said that a massive force from Israel Civil Administration and two dozers raided the hamlet at 9:00 in the morning, deployed soldiers around the targeted house and embarked on demolishing the structure. Noteworthy, the owners managed to evacuate some of the interior.

As part of the operation, the force confiscated solar panels used to generate electricity for the citizen in addition to eight storage batteries.
It should be marked that Israeli occupation authorities served stop-work orders on the structures long ago. It is when the affected owner sought an attorney to object to the order. According to an eyewitness, the occupation confiscated two tents (not set up) from the demolition location.
