Security forces on Wednesday razed Palestinian fences and water installations built unlawfully in the Nahal Kane Nature Reserve located in the West Bank. A tent encampment and three pigsties illegally built by Palestinians were demolished on Tuesday night.

Civil Administration personnel also razed an illegally paved road in a nature reserve situated in Israeli-controlled territory. The paving of the road was funded by Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.

Clashes erupted between Palestinians and the security forces following the demolitions. No injuries or detainees were reported as of yet.

Jihad Dayes, whose family's structures were razed, told Ynet that dozens of peole lost their homes as well as warehouses which housed the community's cattle. He noted that the demolitions were aimed at expanding the settlement of Masua.

Dayes also noted that settlers marked the territory meant to be razed using pegs as early as last month, and that a fence had been placed around the area on Wednesday
