<div id="divLead">Israeli  forces have demolished almost an entire village in the occupied West  Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron), leaving hundreds of Palestinians  displaced.</div>
<p>At least 300 Palestinians were left homeless after Israeli  bulldozers, backed by several military vehicles, demolished nearly the  entire village of al-Dqayqa, Ma&#8217;an news agency reported on Thursday.</p>
<p>Odeh An-Najada, a local councilman for the village, said four  bulldozers accompanied by 30 military vehicles entered the area and  began destroying homes.</p>
<p>&#8220;They demolished everything in the area, the whole thing, they left no building for people to live in,&#8221; an-Najada said.</p>
<p>Parts of the village school were also destroyed, said Fawzi Abu  Hlayyil, the director of the office of the Palestinian Authority  Ministry of Education in Hebron, who denounced the demolition as an  &#8220;ugly crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>Israeli forces later dispersed Palestinians protesting the demolition of the village and detained four people.</p>
<p>Israel seized East al-Quds along with the West Bank from Jordan in the Six-Day War of 1967.</p>
<p>Palestinian homes and other structures in East al-Quds and the occupied West Bank are demolished by Israel on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Israel claims the demolitions are only ordered for structures that were built without permits.</p>
<p>The Palestinians, however, say it is virtually impossible to get a  building permit, particularly for housing in the city, according to an  Israeli civil rights group.</p>
<p>The civil rights group, Ir Amim, said the rise in demolitions is a calculated move to drive Palestinians out of the city.</p>
