Israeli settlers forced the families to dismantle homes in the Jordan Valley, a village leader tells Wafa news agency.
Israeli settlers have forced 15 Palestinian families to tear down their homes and depart from the northern Jordan Valley in the northeastern occupied West Bank, according to a local official.
Mahdi Daraghmeh, head of the al-Malih Village Council, told the Wafa news agency on Tuesday that the families had begun dismantling their homes amid intensifying assaults by settlers.
According to Wafa, seven additional families from the nearby Maita community were forced to leave several days earlier following similar settler attacks and threats.
In a separate incident, settlers assaulted men from Nabi Samwil village, northwest of occupied East Jerusalem, injuring one, who was taken to a hospital with bruises, Wafa reported.
This comes as Israeli forces have stepped up attacks on several areas across the occupied occupied West Bank, with raids and demolitions reported in Nablus, Al Khader and Salfit on Tuesday.
