<p><img title="Israeli house demolition policy &quot;won't discourage Palestinians from clinging to their land&quot;" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.middleeastmonitor.org.uk/images/article_images/news/middle-east/islamic-resistance-movement.jpg" border="0" alt="Israeli house demolition policy &quot;won't discourage Palestinians from clinging to their land&quot;" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="188" align="left" />The  Islamic Resistance Movement has criticized Israel&#8217;s demolition of a  school and seventeen houses belonging to Palestinians near Yatta in the  Hebron region of the occupied West Bank. Hamas said that the destruction  which took place on 12th January is intended to force the expulsion of  Palestinians from the homes and land.</p>
<p>&#8220;We condemn these ongoing crimes of the Zionist occupation authorities,&#8221;  said a Hamas statement, &#8220;which include the demolition of homes and  schools as part of the Israeli entity&#8217;s efforts to displace our people  from their land and stop them from exercising their right to dignity.&#8221;  The Israelis are, claims Hamas, &#8220;clearing the land&#8221; to create more space  for illegal Jewish settlements.</p>
<p>In denouncing these acts, Hamas  called on the people of Palestine to stand firm in the face of the  occupation: &#8220;We also call on the League of Arab States and human rights  organisations to intervene and put pressure on the Zionist occupation to  stop its crimes against Palestinians.&#8221;</p>
