Early this morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), police, and civil administrators razed two buildings in Mitzpe Yitzhar in the West Bank.

Despite attempts to halt the action, the demolition went off without incident. The move comes on the heels of an attack by right-wing settlers on an IDF base. Here’s a photo of a destroyed home from this morning:
