STORYLINE
House demolition is a method Israel has used in the Israeli-occupied territories since they came under its control in the Six-day war to achieve various aims. Broadly speaking, the house demolitions can be classified as either administrative, punitive or as a result of military operations. The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions estimated that Israel had razed 49,532 Palestinian structures as of 2019.Administrative house demolitions are done to enforce building codes and regulations, which in the occupied Palestinian territories are set by the Israeli military. Critics claim that they are used as a means to Judaize parts of the occupied territory, especially East Jerusalem. Punitive house demolitions involves demolishing houses of Palestinians or neighbors and relatives of Palestinians suspected of violent acts against Israelis. These target the homes where the suspects live. Proponents of the method claim that it deters against violence while critics claim that it has not been proven effective and might even trigger more violence.[9] Punitive house demolitions has been criticized by human rights organization as a form of collective punishment and thus a war crime under international law.
