KHIRBET HUMSU, West Bank (AP) — It looks like the aftermath of a tornado. This is what remains of the herding community of Khirbet Humsu in the occupied West Bank, after Israeli forces demolished it for the third time in as many months. “We build it up and they tear it down,” said Waleed Abu al-Kbash as he stretched fencing between two posts. It still maintains complete control over the territory, leaving Bedouin communities like the one at Khirbet Humsu at constant risk of displacement. The first time Israel demolished Khirbet Humsu was in early November, as world attention was focused on the US election.
