Israel received a clear message from Norway in June not to implement the decision to demolish the village of Khan al-Ahmar, which has a primary school funded in part by Norway.
The United Kingdom and France have also accepted the UN Human Rights Council's claim not to tear homes.
Israel sent more forces into the village and the 180 residents were informed Wednesday to take the roads in the village. This raises fears among residents that the demolition of the houses of Khan al-Ahmar is imminent.
On Wednesday, tens of thousands of people were injured in clashes between Israeli police and protesters in east Jerusalem.
An employee of B & # 39; Tselem arrested
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns the planned demolition and declares that it violates international law Haaretz opinion. The United Kingdom reiterated on Wednesday the condemnation of the plans and protested to the Israeli government.
Protesters tried Wednesday to stop an Israeli bulldozer, and some protesters climbed on it in protest. Eleven people were arrested, several of them threw stones, according to the Israeli police.
Among the detainees was one of the leaders of the Israeli group of human rights B & # 39; Tselem, informs the organization.
Several people hospitalized
35 people were injured, four of whom were hospitalized, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. According to the police, three Israeli officers are among the wounded and one of them is being transported to the hospital.
Israel believes that Khan al-Ahmar and the Norwegian-backed school were built illegally. Activists point out that villagers had no choice but to build houses without a building permit.
This is because Palestinians hardly ever receive papers in parts of the occupied West Bank where Israel has full civilian control
. The case
Israel has already torn a large number of Palestinian homes on the occupied West Bank.
Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide (H) told the Storting in June that Norway had directly raised the issue with the Israeli authorities and demanded that the village not be torn apart
– We are well aware of the difficult situation for the inhabitants of Khan al Ahmar. Norway has also urged Israel to withdraw its demolition orders from several buildings and other infrastructure, "said Søreide
