The Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria demolished three Jewish homes on Tuesday night, claiming that the homes had been built following the government’s 10 month ban on Jewish construction in the area. According to a civil administration spokesman, authorities destroyed a mobile home in Elon Moreh, a wooden shack in the community of Kochav Ya'acov and another small home near the town of Kochav Hashahar.

A spokesman for the Binyamin Citizens Committee argued against the demolitions and said that flooring work on a home in Kochav Hashahar and on a house in Kochav Ya'acov had been needlessly torn up by the authorities.
