West Bank village under threat
A Palestinian town lives on borrowed time as a settler group lobbies for its demolition.

An Israeli court will soon decide on the demolition order of Khan al-Ahmar – a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank – so that Israeli homes can be built in its place.
Regavim, a rightist settler group, is lobbying for the move, which would make about about 100 families homeless.
Israeli authorities have already given orders to knock down a school and many shacks in the village.
