Israel warned residents of a West Bank village that they were to demolish their homes by 1 October.
A statement from the Israeli Defense Ministry said Sunday that "the residents of Khan al-Ahmar have today received a notice asking them to demolish all structures on the site by 1 October 2018."
It was not immediately clear what would happen if Palestinians did not dismantle their homes.
Eid Abu Khamis, a spokesman for the village, said: "No one will leave, we will have to be forcibly evicted."
Israel says the village was built without proper permits, but it is almost impossible for Palestinians to obtain proper building permits.
The Palestinian village is located near an Israeli settlement, east of Jerusalem.
Critics say that demolition plans are probably set in motion in favor of settlement expansion.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court rejected calls to stop the demolition.
Israel offered the Palestinians alternative resettlement sites, but according to the French news agency AFP, one site was near a landfill and the other was near a sewage treatment plant.
Several European countries have called on Israel to stop their demolition projects.
