RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces on Monday demolished tents in al-Himma in the northern West Bank, the official PA news agency reported.

Head of Wadi al-Maleh village council Aref Daraghmeh said the structures were used by local farmers and shepherds, Wafa reported.

Daraghmeh said Israel demolished dwellings in the Jordan Valley as part of a policy to force residents from the land to make way for expanding Jewish-only settlements.
