forces in the occupied West Bank sent a order to Palestinian farmers on Monday ordering the demolition of three chicken sheds.

Locals in Um al-Rehan village, southwest of Jenin, were told by Israeli authorities that their chicken coops wereÌýillegally constructed, the head of Ya’bad village council, Majdi Zaid, told the Palestinian Authority's news agency Wafa.

They will now be levelled afterÌýIsraeli forces said the farmers do not have the necessaryÌý.

Israel has illegally occupied the West Bank since 1967 and constructed hundreds of Jewish settlements in a bid to cement its rule over the Palestinian territories.

Israel charges extortionate amounts for building permits which are unaffordable to most Palestinians.

Analysts say these rules create a legal loophole that allows IsraelÌýto annex more land at the expense of Palestinians whoÌýareÌýsubject to frequent demolition orders forÌýtheir homes and businesses.

Without the relevant paperwork,ÌýPalestinians are at risk of eviction and in some cases are forced to destroy their own properties to avoid extortionate fees charged for Israeli demolitions.

Some 600,000ÌýIsraeliÌýsettlers now live in the occupied West Bank, which is home to more than 2.8 million Palestinians.

Settler violence -ÌýenabledÌýby Israeli forces - hasÌýbecome a daily part of Palestinians' livesÌýresultingÌýinÌýinjuries and fatalities, as well as damage to land and property.

Israeli forces have shown an "appalling disregard for human life", Amnesty International has said,Ìýby using reckless and unlawful lethal force against Palestinians.

Amnesty International has repeatedly urged an end to the "worrying rise in unlawful killings by Israeli forces, fostered by a culture of impunity".
