Under the Guise of=20 Security
House Demolitions in Gaza

July 13,=20 2001

PIN 63=20

The view = from Ahmed=20 Khalil Abu Samra's window is a bleak one. To one side is an = Israeli=20 military post. To another, towards the Palestinian town of Dayr = al-Balah=20 in the central Gaza Strip, lie Abu Samra's wrecked greenhouses and = the=20 remnants of uprooted olive and fruit trees. Out back is the = Israeli=20 settlement of Kfar Darom, behind a high-voltage fence the Israeli = army=20 erected on his property this spring. Abu Samra's son's house sits = in ruins=20 behind the fence. A freshly cut bypass road -- connecting Kfar = Darom to=20 Israel proper -- runs past his front door. Carved from his land in = December, the road is guarded by heavily fortified watchtowers = with=20 machine gun emplacements. All visitors to Abu Samra's house must = pass=20 through the gunsights.

"I am a = prisoner in=20 my own home," says Abu Samra, a regal man of 60 with still-black = hair and=20 a flowing white robe. His family has owned the land for = generations, but=20 his house is now an island in an ever-widening sea of Israeli = settlement,=20 a casualty of what human rights groups say is a systematic = campaign of=20 home demolitions, crop destruction and land confiscation carried = out by=20 the Israeli army under the guise of security = operations.

DEMOLITION WITH A=20 DIFFERENCE

Abu = Samra's=20 situation, though extreme, is far from unique. Citing the need to = protect=20 Israeli settlements and military posts from attacks by Palestinian = gunmen,=20 the Israeli army has demolished 269 homes and destroyed 2,280 = acres of=20 Palestinian agricultural land since the beginning of the current = intifada,=20 according to LAW, a human rights group based in East Jerusalem. = What is=20 exceptional about the destruction of Abu Samra's property is that = he says=20 he did everything he could to accommodate the Israelis, and it = didn't make=20 any difference.

Shortly = after the=20 electrified fence went up in December, says Abu Samra, soldiers = warned him=20 to remove the trees closest to the fence, contending that = Palestinian=20 gunmen could use them as cover when firing on the settlement. Abu = Samra=20 complied, cutting down the rows of palm trees abutting the fence. = But at=20 11 pm on February 8, the soldiers came anyway. By one in the = morning, they=20 had hacked down 240 palms, 80 olive trees, 80 orange and lemon = trees,=20 bulldozed two acres of greenhouses and destroyed four water wells. = Five=20 months later, the wreckage is still visible in every direction. "I = cut=20 because I wanted to avoid the bulldozer," Abu Samra says. "I = thought that=20 if I cut [down the trees] they wouldn't come."

An Israel = Defense=20 Forces (IDF) spokesman, maintaining that the settlement often came = under=20 heavy fire from Abu Samra's land, says the demolition was = necessary, if=20 regrettable. "Did [Abu Samra] tell you that Hamas and the tanzim = use his=20 house to shoot from?" the spokesman asks. "Unfortunately, when our = soldiers are getting fired on, there's nothing we can do. We have = to fight=20 back. Only since the intifada have we done this." Abu Samra = insists that=20 no one has shot at the settlement from his land.

"ACTIVE=20 RESTRAINT"

Contrary = to the IDF=20 spokesman's assertion, home demolition and land confiscation are=20 well-established practices in the Occupied Territories: every = Israeli=20 government since 1967 has used them. According to a 1999 Amnesty=20 International report, at least 2,400 Palestinian homes were torn = down in=20 the West Bank alone between 1987 and 1999 -- approximately 200 per = year.=20 "The demolition of Palestinian houses is inextricably linked with = Israeli=20 policy to control and colonize the West Bank," the report stated, = adding=20 that "construction of [settlements] has depended not just on = finding=20 land...but on alienating it from the Palestinians."

Though = the rate of=20 demolitions and confiscations has accelerated since the current = uprising=20 began, the real difference is that Israel now generally cites = security=20 concerns for its operations. In the past, Israeli authorities = usually=20 pointed to administrative regulations, such as "building without a = permit"=20 to explain the demolitions. Human rights groups counter that the=20 government often refuses to issue building permits to Palestinian=20 communities under its control to restrict their growth. Though = less common=20 during the uprising, administrative demolitions, such as the = razing of 14=20 homes in Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem on July 9, still=20 occur.

The = tenuous=20 US-brokered "ceasefire," which went into effect on June 13, has = not=20 stopped the operations, nor has Israel's self-declared policy of = "active=20 restraint." Rafah, the dusty, shell-scarred town on Gaza's border = with=20 Egypt, has been particularly hard hit since the ceasefire began. = At three=20 in the morning on June 23, bulldozers and tanks rolled into a = neighborhood=20 in the refugee camp, crushing 20 houses and rendering 110 people = homeless.=20 They returned on July 10 to demolish 14 more.

"There = was no=20 warning," says Mohammed Barhoum, a 55-year old refugee who lost = his=20 family's house to the June 23 demolition. "I was asleep when I = heard the=20 tanks, and all I could do was get the children and get out," he = says. Days=20 later, Barhoum is still trying to salvage what he can from the = rubble. As=20 he speaks, members of his family sift through the rubble, pulling = out=20 clothing, kitchenware, a child's school bag. Barhoum, who built = the house=20 in 1980 and scoffs at the idea that it was used to shoot at = Israeli=20 military posts, cannot understand why the army destroyed his = house. "Our=20 life is very sad," he says, "from when we are born to when we=20 die."

POLITICAL=20 AGENDA

Palestinians and=20 human rights groups maintain that the latest round of demolitions = suggests=20 a political rather than a security agenda: to maintain control = over the=20 West Bank and Gaza Strip indefinitely, through an ever-expanding = network=20 of settlements, using bypass roads to link them with Israel and = military=20 positions to protect them. "Yes, this is a planned-out policy," = confirms=20 Nizar Farsakh, research assistant at the Applied Research = Institute of=20 Jerusalem (ARIJ), which studies land and water issues in the = Occupied=20 Territories. "Slowly, slowly, [the Israelis] are demolishing = houses as=20 they build their roads and settlements."

IDF = spokesmen are=20 careful to maintain the official line, but occasionally the = government is=20 more candid about its intentions. "If we don't keep this territory = clean,=20 at the end of the day there will be irreversible facts on the = ground that=20 will reduce our 'maneuvering space,' if you can call it that, as = we enter=20 into negotiations," said Israel's Deputy Head of Civil = Administration=20 David Bar El in 1998, as quoted by Amnesty = International.

A look at = a map of=20 the Occupied Territories suggests that army destructions of = Palestinian=20 property are anything but random. Confiscations, occupations and=20 demolitions overwhelmingly occur in strategic areas -- land = adjacent to=20 settlements, such as Abu Samra's, or fields that can be paved over = with a=20 bypass road connecting an isolated settlement with Israel. "It's = important=20 to see where the [targeted] houses are located and why," says Jad = Isaac,=20 director general of ARIJ. "It's not arbitrary. These sites are=20 meticulously selected. They are for the bypass roads or new zoning = for the=20 settlements, to increase Israeli control." Or as Israeli Prime = Minister=20 Ariel Sharon put it in an interview with the Israeli newspaper = Ha'aretz on=20 April 12, "It's not by accident that the settlements are located = where=20 they are. They...provide strategic depth which is vital to our=20 existence."

Many of = these areas,=20 of course, have been major flashpoints during the intifada, but = following=20 its operations the army often expels Palestinians or annexes their = land,=20 either for settlement or military use. In a recent incident, the = IDF=20 bulldozed eight houses in the villages of Wadi al-Amayer and = al-Odeirya,=20 south of Hebron, in retaliation for the murder of an Israeli from = the=20 nearby settlement of Susiya, according to the Palestinian Center = for Human=20 Rights. The houses were located near Road 60, a bypass road = connecting the=20 southern Hebron area settlements with each other.

In the = village of=20 Nabi Salih, northeast of Ramallah, the IDF occupied a Palestinian = house on=20 a hilltop directly across from Halmish settlement on July 8. = Arriving at=20 four am, the soldiers evicted Abd al-Karim Mustafa Tamimi and his = family,=20 along with their furniture, and set up a command post. The house = is one of=20 the highest points in the village and, according to a Reuters = report, the=20 IDF seized it because it provided a vantage point for protecting = the=20 settlement. A few hours after the seizure, a soldier guarding the = house=20 explains that "there was fire [on the settlement] from this area," = but he=20 does not know if it came from Tamimi's house. "You'll have to talk = to the=20 District Commander about that," he says.

BEHIND = BARBED=20 WIRE

In Beit = Lahia, a=20 sleepy farming town in the northern Gaza Strip, the army began = bulldozing=20 mango trees and knocking down greenhouses belonging to Mahmoud Abu = Halima=20 and his extended family on January 21. In mid-June, soldiers = strung a=20 barbed wire fence across his fields. The fence almost isn't = necessary=20 because most of the family is too scared to set foot on the land=20 now.

A few = hundred yards=20 away on a hilltop by the sea, the terracotta roofs and ivory walls = of the=20 Dugit settlement gleam in the sun. The blue-and-white Israeli flag = flaps=20 in the breeze, while a tank watches over the fields below. Abu = Halima, a=20 45-year old with a sun-browned face, says that soldiers shoot into = the=20 village at night, and that the army has closed off most of the = fields near=20 the settlement and built an access gate. "I expect them to = confiscate it=20 soon," he says.

Back near = Kfar Darom,=20 Abu Samra peers through the wire mesh that covers the windows in = his front=20 room. He installed the mesh in the spring, after Israeli settlers = broke=20 some of the windows with rocks. He has no intention of leaving his = home,=20 no matter what happens. "Where else can I go?" he asks. "I'll die = here=20 inside rather than go out."
