House demolition in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict has occurred on many occasions, dating back to 1967. The Israeli Defense Forces has demolished residentially-zoned buildings within Palestine in what they claim to be acts of counterterrorism, but many beg to differ and instead have concluded that the true purpose is to expand settlements considered illegal internationally, to terrorize Palestinians, or both.
The act has been condemned internationally and is widely considered to be collective punishment. Peace plans have proposed the ending of the practice.
It most commonly occurs in the West Bank due to the disengagement agreement from Gaza.
