<p>Sami Sadeq, head of the village council, said two  streets leading out of the village were torn up, effectively rendering  them useless for travel, forcing residents to take long detours and exit  via the main entrance of the village.</p>
<p>Sadeq said some 95  percent of the structures in the village have demolition orders issued  on them, including the village&#8217;s grand mosque, kindergarten and homes.</p>
<p>The  bulldozing destroyed electricity poles at the entrance of the village,  and the homes of Mohammad Hassen Subieh and Abed An-Naser Ahmad Subieh,  the official said.</p>
<p>Israeli daily news site Ynet said the  military and Civil Administration &#8220;destroyed 3 illegal Palestinian  structures and two pathways in Jordan Valley,&#8221; saying all were in an  areas designated as a firing field.</p>
<p>The demolitions come as UN  figures show a continued increase in home demolitions hit a record high  during the first three months of 2011.</p>
<p>Ffigures from the UN  agency for Palestinian refugees recorded 76 demolitions of Palestinian  buildings in March, forcibly displacing 158 Palestinians including 64  children.</p>
<p>So far this year, Israel has demolished the homes of 333 Palestinians, including 175 children, UNRWA reported.</p>
