SUSIYA, West Bank — As the conflict escalates in Gaza, a dispute rages over Susiya, a small Palestinian village and herding community in the Hebron hills of the West Bank.
In June 2012, Palestinian residents received more than 50 demolition orders from the Israeli Civil Administration, Israel’s governing body in the West Bank.
