At 6.30am on 30th January 2014 20 Israeli army jeeps and 2 bulldozers arrived in the village of Umal Jmal, in Hammat Maleh, to destroy Palestinian houses. They remained there until 8.00am and destroyed houses and animal shelters. This action affected 12 families and around 100 people.

After the Israeli army left, the families started to set up some tents to shelter themselves and their children. At around 10.00am the Israeli army jeeps returned and ordered then to disassemble the tents, treating to destroy the tents if they didn’t do so.
