Authorities pack up tents and supplies at Khan al-Ahmar relocation site

Israeli authorities pack up tents, water tanks and other supplies that had been installed at Jabal West, the relocation site where the government hopes to place the residents of Khan al-Ahmar after razing the West Bank hamlet.

The supplies have been at the site adjacent to the Abu Dis garbage dump for several weeks in anticipation of the demolition which could have taken place as early as October 1.

Yesterday, the cabinet approved a several-week delay of the razing to give another opportunity for the state to reach an agreement with the residents for a voluntary evacuation of Khan al-Ahmar. However, the attorney representing the Bedouin village tells The Times of Israel that nobody from the government has reached out in the past 24 hours.
