The Israeli army demolished a house and confiscated a trailer belonging to a Palestinian family in the South Hebron Hills on Monday, sources told °®Âþµº.

Jebril Adarah, a resident of Masafer Yatta, told °®Âþµº that the trailer was used by his family to house sheep while the home was still unfinished.

"All the residents of Masafer Yatta are farmers and livestock owners," he pointed out.

"The Israeli army continuously agricultural material, like tractors, and new structures before they’re finished."

'Israel' is intensifying its demolition and expropriation practices against Palestinians without a "legal deterrence or punishment" from the international community.

According to Younes, the Israeli army destroyed the main water supply line to Masafer Yatta, two weeks ago.

"They were actually bulldozing an agricultural road that we had opened alongside the water pipeline, and they broke the line in the process, causing a water cut for almost a whole week to 1500 people," he said.

Israeli forces regularly confiscate trailers which Palestinians use as substitutes for buildings in Area C of the West Bank.

Last week, the Israeli army confiscated housing and livestock trailers in the Northern Jordan Valley and demolished a mosque near the town of Duma, south of Nablus.
