On Wednesday, Israeli forces demolished several residential apartments, homes, and agricultural and livestock facilities in the northeast and southeast of occupied Jerusalem. Such operations add to a long running tally.

Each structure removed represents not only a household count but also hectares of land and years of investment erased in hours.
