Protests erupt in Druze village after cops hand out demolition orders

Residents of Beit Jann are currently clashing with police after officers issued a series of demolition orders against agricultural buildings in the northern Druze village.

The locals argue that the timing of the orders — in the midst of the pandemic — shows that authorities are out of touch and employing selective enforcement that targets the country’s weaker population who as it is find it hard to get building approvals.
