Israel Seeks to Displace Palestinians for West Bank Military Site 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Israeli government has asked its Supreme Court to approve the
destruction of eight Palestinian hamlets in the South Hebron Hills so
the Israeli military can use the area for training. The shepherds who
live in the area were previously forced to evacuate by Israel, but were
later returned to their homes by a court order. Palestinian advocates
say the move is part of a larger push to oust Palestinians from certain
parts of the West Bank.
