The battle with the bulldozers - preview
Rolfe Evans provides his testimony of the destruction of Palestinian homes by the Israeli authorities
I knew today was not going to go as scheduled It was shortly before 11am when I looked up from my work and noticed the border patrol jeeps slowly turning off a main road onto a dirt road that eventually passed about 400 metres below our building site
We are not sure whether they are heading for us
We hustle up seven flights to the top floor of a building across the road from the site so we can see what’s happening from there Then it becomes clear: the house slated for demolition is a different one, a tiny house just down the road There are vans and jeeps pulled up on the dirt track across the little valley; near the bottom more vehicles have pulled up near the tiny house; soldiers and guys in green vests – and one orange vest – moving around outside the house
