The Israeli authorities distributed 22 eviction and demolition orders for Palestinian homes in Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem, Sunday. The Jerusalem Governorate stated that Israeli forces raided the town and distributed the eviction orders. It explained the orders gave homeowners a week to vacate their homes before the demolitions would begin.

In a subsequent statement, the Governorate confirmed Israeli authorities distributed 22 eviction and demolition orders for several homes, noting that these measures were a prelude to the demolition orders. The Governorate did not specify the number of homes affected by the orders, nor whether the orders included both eviction and demolition. The Governorate added that Israeli authorities previously distributed stop-work orders for approximately 20 homes in the town, revising an earlier statement that had indicated the number was 30 according to Al Jarmaq.
