<p style="font-size:10pt;">NABLUS, (PIC)&#8211; Israeli authorities  have given the people of the east Nablus village of Tana 24 hours to  evacuate their homes before demolishing them, and threatened to  confiscate their livestock when the deadline falls, sources in Nablus  said.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Tana is home to more than 35 Palestinian  families. They have decided to resist decisions to demolish their homes  and eject them from them, calling on officials to stand by them in the  face of the arbitrary ruling.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The village&#8217;s population has been residing  there since the 1940&#8217;s. They had prior to that dwelled in caves in the  rock village before they began building to house themselves and their  livestock, their key source of livelihood.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The village sits seven kilometers away from Beit Fourik. Villagers have fallen victim to Jewish settlers from time to time.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Since developing the village, residents  have been ordered to stop building and under threat of demolitions. The  structures there have been taken down on several occasions, the last of  which was about ten days ago, when 12 homes, a school, and several were  wiped out. The Beit Fourik municipality leveled the entire village last  month for allegedly being erected on the West Bank&#8217;s Area C, a region  placed under Israeli security control after the Oslo Accords.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The village has a land area of about 250  acres and is located near the Jewish settlement of Mahura, which was  founded in 1969. Israel has siezed more than 2,500 acres of the land  surrounding Beit Fourik for the interest of settlers there.</p>
